2. What do they look for and what‘s on offer?

♦ Excellent entrepreneurs ♦ Excellent teams (what makes a great team?) ✓ greatness in their area ✓ complementary ✓ leader (1, not 2 or 3) ♦ Great young companies ♦ Areas: strong internet component in the business model, not only pure Internet!

♦ Cash (up to a few hundred k€) ♦ Deep company building expertise - you build a company, not (just) a product! - recruiting / finance / strategy / distribution / deals / general management ♦ Strong online expertise ♦ Strong international network / portfolio synergies

Hard work & broad range of options
We work with you and offer:

Internships
Jobs @ TEV or in Portfolio companies

3. How to approach them?

Contact via personal networks much more effective than info@... Anything you send – KISS – Keep it Simple and Stupid (and Short!) Present team / company, not just product Focus on potential / business logic, not detailed cash flow planning for 10 years Approach and get noticed

Do you really need it? Make them desire you! Don‘t sell too much too early (seen BA‘s with 40% for 100k pln !?!) Do not look only for money – early investors are super helpful Dealing…
