 What is the Problem?
• Demand for 50.000€ ... 500.000€ investments is
up (and supply is down)
• Access to early-stage investors is relatively
difficult and quite local
• Investors would like to divide their risk by
investing smaller amounts into many companies
• There are no reliable sources of information
about promising companies
• Process of getting funded by 20+ parties is too
troublesome (for companies)
