Assessment, Due Diligence & Decision

Assessment, Background Information Check and Investment Decision

The results of this first initial screening are then discussed with ecosystem experts who decide if a project should be pursued. The outcome of this step can be a decline or a forward for due diligence.

If the initial assessment is positive, the investment team will conduct a due diligence as a preparation for an investment decision by the Investment Committee. The investment team will reach out to you if further information is needed.

Once the due diligence is complete, the Investment Committee decides about the proposed investment scope and amount. The Investment Committee is held on a monthly basis. The outcome of this step is an acceptance or decline of the investment proposal.
