A Business Angel with a mission

I am a Business Angel with a mission: Improve the world through entrepreneurship. I invest my time, competence and money  in technology companies with the potential to change their industry and society at large.

My investment philosophy is that the next big things are already out there; What you’ve got to do is to find them, package them and bring them to the market. Or, in William Gibson‘s words:

The future is already here. It’s just not very evenly distributed.

I am looking for:

  • Companies where I can contribute with my experience and my network in addition to providing capital,
  • led by honest and hard-working entrepreneurs driven by the idea of creating something beautiful,
  • with a scalable business model and technology as a key competitive advantage,
  • and with a potential to change their industry and society at large.

I can offer:

  • Experience, contacts, energy and ideas.
  • Capital in investments that keep the founding entrepreneur(s) in the driver’s seat

Let me know if you have a case that you think interests me.

On this blog, I will share my reasons for investing in different companies and write about cool new gadgets and applications, social entrepreneurship, what I think will become the Next Big Thing and other stuff that interest me. Please stay tuned!

       “Figure out what Google wants to be when it grows up. It’s now all over the map. What are the five products you want to focus on? Get rid of the rest, because they’re dragging you down. They’re turning you into Microsoft.” -- Steve Jobs to Larry Page
