BCR Seed Starter

About

Seed support and investment for startups. The Seed Starter program supports startups during the Go-To-Market phase, and brings external projects under BCR’s wing.

Why are we doing this?

We are one of the most important financial groups of Romania.

We believe in honest entrepreneurship and the creation of longstanding value.

We have the resources and knowledge to support you.

We want to help true entrepreneurs prosper in the long term.

Our philosophy

We’re a different kind of a seed fund. We want to help companies that are built for sustainable and lasting growth. If you just want to be rich and famous, don’t call us. But if you have a brilliant idea, a strong team and a clear plan, we’re here to help, inspire and educate you.

Welcome to the era of long-game entrepreneurs. If you can convince us why your startup will still be here in 200 years, just like Erste, we will invest in you.

How can you get involved

  • Fintech: Help us expand our financial services portfolio with innovative products in segments where we aren’t yet present, or where our customer services are lagging behind or still have room for growth.
  • Plugin Challenge: Connect your business to George, BCR’s banking app. It gives you the potential to reach almost 2 million users.
  • Sustainability: Help us achieve a better tomorrow by combining your talent with modern technologies in the field of sustainability.
  • Prosperity and support for business: We want to promote sustainable business not only in terms of the environment, but also to ensure the long-term success of companies and individuals.

Infinitas Capital

We are global investors and entrepreneurs at heart. Our society is faced with many challenges to overcome. However, we believe that the most significant challenges also present the greatest opportunities to shape our future actively. At Infinitas, we strive towards a better future by addressing some of the world`s greatest challenges together with our partners. We invest globally at the forefront of technology and secure, create and improve living spaces through our real estate investments. Based on our hands-on entrepreneurial approach, we provide infrastructure, our extensive network, and capital, to seed, support and scale in real estate, venture capital and platform creation. Real Estate The housing market in Switzerland is resilient and has been a safe haven asset class for several decades. We focus on providing affordable living by modernizing existing properties across Switzerland and reshaping space through our development projects. Our strategy ensures long-term value creation and stable cashflows. As we believe in dynamic and urban cities, we continuously grow our portfolio and build real estate investment companies. Venture Capital For us, Venture Capital is about shaping our future and improving lives and society in a meaningful way. We focus on founders working on finding solutions to some of society’s biggest challenges and redefining entire industries. We have assembled a global network of founders, investors, and top-tier VCs and get access to some of the most exclusive deals. With our entrepreneurial spirit and hands-on approach, we usually see ourselves as co-entrepreneurs rather than classical investors. We manage two thematic venture capital funds focusing on our core convictions. Through Korify Capital, we invest in longevity and mental health and through Prediction Capital in fintech and consumer-tech. Platform Creation Platform Creation is at the intersection of our two core pillars, venture capital, and real estate. As a result, we are constantly exposed to a large variety of startups around the globe. This exposure, both to companies we invest in and those we don’t, helps us identify opportunities where consumer needs are not yet met or parts of markets are still underserved. We then put these ideas into practice by teaming up with other strong co-founders and focusing on ensuring a positive financial return and bringing about change in our society while doing so. Therefore, we incubate opportunistically within an entrepreneurial nucleus comprising the best of our experience as investors, founders, and operators. Inifitas in numbers It has been quite a journey, but we are far from being done. Our mission is to build a one-of-a-kind ecosystem and global network of entrepreneurs, investors, and visionaries, who are all united in their desire and commitment to shaping the future for the better. 33 Portfolio Companies 52 Real Estate Assets 6 Strategies 18 Team Members 3 Pillars
