Investment criteria

Curious to know whether you qualify for financing? We invest in social enterprises that meet the following criteria:

Structural equity of opportunities

Your company's main goal is to combat inequity of opportunities. You make a direct and structural difference for groups that are disadvantaged, are discriminated against or risk being exluded. People that have less opportunities due to migration or poverty, because of gender or a disability, or because of inequality in education, for example. We do not focus on a specific sector, but rather on the societal potential of your solution.

Sustainable business model

Your social mission is at the very heart of your business model. This entails that the growth of your impact and the growth of your business always go hand in hand. Your business model allows you to be sufficiently profitable, to sustain your activity in the long run, and offers exit opportunities.

Scalability & innovativeness

Your business concept and social impact are scalable, preferably internationally as well. Innovation is also an important criterion: your company needs to introduce a new approach or way of thinking, and thus, have the potential to bring about real, systemic change.

Stage & geography

Your company is in an early growth phase, and you already have a clear Proof Of Concept and Proof Of Market. You are active in the Benelux or its environs. We focus on companies that are geographically close, so we can offer maximum support.

Strong Team

Your team is entrepreneurial, impact-driven, open-minded, diverse and complementary.
