We strongly believe that finance and innovation, both together, shape our future and help to solve actual and future challenges and not resolved human problems.
Lately, the finance industry was mainly concentrated in optimising share holder value, profits and commissions and neglected their primordial role to forge our future leaving innovation, if not connected with big companies, scarce of funding.
Therefore we do believe in challenging the status quo, we believe in thinking differently.
The way we challenge the status quo is by putting into the hands of innovators, visionaries and co-investors all the know-how accrued by large corporations utilising high-end finance models and instruments (i.e. from sophisticated portfolio techniques - to increase the chance of success - and securitisation models as well as super-insurance - to reduce risks for the investment - and other sophisticated proprietary tools) to SECURE investment funding for difficult to finance projects of high interest.
