As founders, we understand the pressures on you as a founder. And our interests are fully aligned.WE INVEST BASED ON VIEWPOINTSSuccessful Fintech start-ups willcapture opportunities created by fundamental shifts in the industry. We love exchanging points of view with founders - but also with executives of incumbents - to arrive at distinctive perspectives on the exact opportunities and the best way to capture these.WE LOVE DISRUPTION ROOTED IN TECHNOLOGYWe like to see true technology-led innovation and disruption. Too many fintech start-ups are 'simply' re-skinning or re-packaging the same underlying business or product. This is great V1.0 disruption . Yet, we are more interested in V2.0 and look forward to exploring ideas and concepts with you.WE BRIDGE THE WORLD OF ATTACKERS AND INCUMBENTSWe have extensive experience with attackers as well as incumbents. This gives us a unique appreciation for what exactly new companies are disruption inside the financial services establishment. Many fintech companies will end up being acquired by incumbents, so our understanding of where new disruptive companies might 'fit' in these incumbents will be invaluable, if only to create option value.
