Join a startup
as a Co-Founder

We often come across solo founders who are looking for a co-founder to complement them – either within our existing portfolio companies or in those we are in discussions with about investing in. Having a partner in your startup is often a great idea, as companies with more than one founder statistically have higher chances of success and survival.

Be part of something big

Every year, we receive over 1500 investment applications from startups and established companies. Often, existing founders seek more sparring and hands-on help than we can necessarily provide as investors. To solve this problem, we have established the Co-Founder list, which aims to connect the companies and founders we are in dialogue with to potential interested individuals who would be a good match for a co-founder role.

Often, a strong founder team consists of multiple people who complement each other's skills. If, for example, one founder has a strong background in finance and economics, a good match could often be a more sales- or marketing-oriented co-founder. Or the other way around.

If you dream of becoming self-employed and have a skillset that you believe can create value, consider signing up for the co-founder list today and receive a notification the next time a match arises.

As a general rule, we do not experience a cash 'buy-in' for early-stage companies if the value creation can justify it.
