How we work
Our work spans the full trajectory of business development, financial structuring and fundraising, and implementation of impact first ventures and investment vehicles. We take on this process ourselves, or we support others in an advisory role along the trajectory or in parts of it.
To provide the best possible support, we always start with an inception phase, to understand the objectives and status of a venture and the real issues at hand. In the implementation phase we execute the assignment, whcih is followed by an evaluation and potentially follow up.
