Founders and investors

01 — for founders

Founders

Capital, expertise and mentors arrive while the first product is still being built.

Where are you now?

Incubator

$3,500–4,000 · no equity

Start operating before you incorporate. You work under an existing Cyprus legal entity: contracts and invoicing run through it, revenue is collected and paid out to you, and you set up your own company once the hypothesis holds.

Free · a few minutes · no sign-up

Tell the analyst what you are building, or drop in your pitch deck, and get a venture-style read: a structured profile, scores across six dimensions and a short investment memo. It is the same lens our team uses on inbound.

02 — for investors

Investors

Institutional terms across the portfolio, or co-invest on one company you already believe in. We walk you through both.

Invest with us
LP
Across the whole portfolio, from $300K per deal.
GP
Alongside the fund on one company, $100K–$500K.
