CK Venture

About

Our investments support start-up companies that contribute to a better future.

That is why we invest primarily in sustainable, visionary ideas from the fields of health, leisure, the environment and technology.

Long-term joint success is more important to us than a quick exit.

We come from a family of entrepreneurs and have been running our own businesses for many years. The entrepreneurial gene was practically laid in our cradle.

Our experience, coupled with a good bit of female intuition, is the basis for our investment decisions in young start-up companies.

We are well acquainted with the challenges of everyday entrepreneurial life and, as an investor, we know how to put on our entrepreneur's glasses time and again.

For us, it's not about stubbornly looking at the numbers, but about providing ambitious founders with the best possible support in realizing their ideas. The focus is on joint success and the relationship of trust between the founders and us as investors.

Our Investments:

This is what we value!

Sustainability, fairness and long-term, joint success are our top priorities. We invest because we want to, not because we have to.

  • Strong founders: We pay special attention to the personality of the entrepreneurs and like to swim on the same wavelength with an enthusiastic founding team.
  • Open and honest exchange: We always behave fairly, openly and honestly and expect the same from our partners.
  • Interesting stories: We love interesting founder stories and visionary ideas.
  • Clarity and transparency: The company's idea, objectives and strategy must be comprehensible, clear and realistic. It is better to have honest assessments than lofty castles in the air.
