Operating investments

Backing entrepreneurs who use business as a force for good.

I do not just invest capital. I bring operating experience, direct founder support and an international network—so good companies can move faster and stay in control.

Patrick working with founders
01

Experience and execution

Thirteen years of building, scaling, fundraising, turning around and transacting—not just observing from the boardroom.

02

Mission and commercial strength

I look for companies where measurable positive impact and a strong business model reinforce each other.

Active partnership

Tickets up to approximately €100,000, combined with time, direct founder support and, where it makes sense, sweat equity.
