People Ventures

We help entrepreneurs succeed. It has been our mission from day one. We challenge existing paradigms of how things are done in the normal VC world. Our experience of actually being in the thick of the action day in, day out with Founders and their companies, actively pushing them towards their end game - wherever it might be - has taught us it pays off. To be active. To be present. To be hands on. To apply everything we know in every interaction, every task. Whatever it takes. We believe in People. Great people. They have been the center of attention since we started investing intensively in 2018. We invest in people in everything we do: in problems affecting potentially millions of people on a global scale, in deeply committed and talented founder teams, and in the strength, experience and know-how of our team and its ability to help our founders and portfolio companies succeed on their journeys. It’s all about People We partner with the most talented entrepreneurs – bringing to the table industry know-how, relentless dedication and money to move startups fast forward. What we look for We back start-ups and founder teams when we’re sure that our operational skillset, experience, and network will bring an original vision to life. From pre-seed to venture to expansive growth with best-in-class founders at every stage of the journey. While we like to keep an open mind, and only invest in companies that improve people and businesses’ everyday lives, we don’t want to invest our time (or money) in companies working within industries or sectors, which we consider bad for people. Our industry focus may change from time to time depending on emerging macro-economic, socio-economic, and technological trends. But based on a combination of our experiences, current capabilities, and interesting megatrends we see in the market, we focus our investments within technology-driven companies and with a soft focus on Digital health and SaaS products. What do you invest in? We invest in people in everything that we do: In real life challenges affecting potentially millions of people and businesses on a global scale and in deeply committed and talented founder teams of people uniquely qualified and motivated to grasp the problem and build tomorrows most powerful solutions. Tech companies, with software driven business-models. At our core we remain agnostic of what industries, we could potentially make investments in. Having said that there will be industries, where we will not be investing. While we like to keep an open mind, we also see the value in focusing our attention on a few, more specific industries. We are currently focused on digital health and enterprise software (B2B SaaS).
