VC funds and family offices have portfolios. These portfolios almost always have untapped funding potential. We turn that into added value.
How we work
We start with a portfolio audit: we scan the individual holdings for existing funding potential, at programme level (which programme for which project), at maturity level (TRL, market, consortium) and at volume level (what is realistically obtainable in which time frame).
From this we derive a portfolio-wide funding strategy spanning several years. We prioritise, plan and coordinate across the holdings, including application, approval support and reporting. On request directly with the portfolio companies, or as a sparring layer for their internal teams.
What you get in concrete terms
- Strategic protection: public funding as a risk buffer for your investments.
- Portfolio audit: a structured assessment of all holdings against our established funding potential criteria.
- Multi-year funding strategy: per holding and across the portfolio, with milestones.
- Operational implementation: applications, approval support and reporting by our team.
- Consolidated VC reporting layer: you see at a glance what is running across the whole portfolio.
The economic lever
In many cases the risk of the VC capital deployed can be reduced, because part of the financing can be covered by public funding. At the same time the runway of the portfolio companies gets longer and the impact of the investments grows: the same capital goes further and enables more ambitious projects.
When it fits
For funds and family offices where public funding has so far been coordinated at portfolio level only occasionally, if at all.
What we don't do
- Advice against the interests of the portfolio companies. We work together with the VC, the family office and the company.
- Promises of success without an audit as the basis.
