Our Approach

We make long-term bets on scientific & technological breakthroughs. When we have original ideas – such as being the first in this century to re-think the medical use of psychedelics - we incubate companies inspiring radical structural change.

We particularly like platform and roll-up strategies with centralized services, leadership & business development, supporting founders and scientists with our entrepreneurial vision and company-building capability.

We have raised more than US$ 1 billion outside money in recent years for our various platform companies.

A few selected portfolio companies:

We take active minority stakes in listed companies mainly through IPOs & SPACs, but sometimes also later in a company’s life cycle.

We offer our listed companies the same attention and value-add as we give our venture portfolio.

Primarily, we are initiating and sponsoring our own SPACs – often together with strategic partners – focusing on certain high growth industries and/or regions.

Additionally, we are investing into the SPACs of other sponsors, offering SPAC sponsors an entrepreneurial, long-term investor & partner who not only provides capital, but also and especially deal flow.
