To achieve this we invest up to EUR 85 million and are planning to engage with some 12 startups. We are unique in being flexible in terms of how we invest thanks to the wholly private capital at our disposal, as well as an active approach to company founders whom we offer support from our internal teams at TDJ Business Excellence.

What do we offer?

BUSINESS EXCELLENCE

We know that growing companies need not just capital, but also active investors who help founding teams scale their businesses by sharing know-how, experience and access to networks. As TDJ Venture we ensure you get access to the competencies of our experts gathered around TDJ Business Excellence.

FLEXIBLE CAPITAL

We work fast, independently and flexibly thanks to the privately owned capital at TDJ. This allows us to adapt to circumstances and company particulars, helping us make the best use of market opportunities.

ENTREPRENEUR-ENTREPRENEUR RELATIONS

We offer something unique in the ecosystem: entrepreneur-entrepreneur relations based on shared values. Dealing each day with similar challenges we can offer founders realistic and adaptable support in seeking solutions to whatever challenges may come.

LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP

Our initial engagement is between EUR 4-6 million, but we understand that founders in building up their business need long-term partnerships. We plan to be with you also in subsequent investment rounds.
