What is Venture Capital?

Venture Capital means investing in young, innovative companies before they become big and well-known. Startups such as Airbnb, Spotify or BioNTech received capital from Venture Capital investors in their early phase — long before they went public.Why is that exciting? Because you can be there right from the start — where there is the greatest potential for growth.

Comment from the investment team.

Why did the investment team choose Redstone?

VVenture Capital has historically been one of the most profitable asset classes. At the same time, it is one of the most demanding. Access to the right funds, strategies, and managers who know which sectors will shape the next few years is crucial. We work with Redstone for this area.

Redstone is one of the leading European Venture Capital platforms with over ten years of experience and an impressive track record. Instead of diversifying broadly across a number of industries with just one giant fund, the team invests through specialized sector funds, for example in FinTech, Health Tech, Deep Tech and Sustainability. As a result, Redstone, with the respective funds, has become a specialist in the sectors and has so far been able to achieve above-average returns through smaller fund sizes — which is common, as smaller funds usually outperform the larger ones. The selection of start-ups is based on SOFIA, the most comprehensive proprietary VC analysis platform in Europe, which covers over four million start-ups worldwide.

With the strategy of Redstone, the Global Venture ELTIF, investors invest in over 200 start-ups from more than eight specialized funds with just one investment. This is the necessary diversification that an investment for retail investors in the VC sector must bring.
