Our aim is to invest in innovative small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are in their development phase, hold a distinctive competitive advantage and have excellent potential for equity appreciation and international competitiveness and presence, regardless of the industry they compete. Our target size of investment is between € 2-6 million, but we are able to accommodate any size of investment in cooperation to strategic partners and/or co-investors. In most of the cases we intend to take minority stakes, supporting the management achieving their goals.

We are also interested in internationally tested business ideas that are currently being transferred to the Greek market.

The Fund must be fully invested within 5 years from its set-up.

Condensing the main aspects of the Fund investment strategy, we can say that:

The fund invests in Greece.

It invests in a wide range of innovative companies, primarily in various business sectors like RES, food & beverages, logistics, health, retail, telecoms, IT and IT applications (e-commerce, Internet, etc.).

The Fund may also invest elsewhere in Europe through companies with legal seat in Greece.

Total investment in a single company cannot exceed 20% of Fund assets (€8m).

There is also a limit of €2.5m per financing round, with consecutive rounds spaced no less than 12 months from each other.

Every effort will be made to support and add value to portfolio companies.

The Fund will also seek to optimally use subsidies, EU financing programmes, tax breaks and so on in combination with own financing for potential investments; this is not, however, a criterion for selecting investments.

Co-investment with other funds is a distinct, and often welcome, possibility to be examined on a case-by-case basis.
