In general, I invest in all phases and stages of a company’s life cycle, but with focus on non-listed Seed/Start-up investments. I invest in early stage rounds primarily in the US. In order to complement and diversify my portfolio, which has a bias towards Europe, I invest in Hedge Funds and Venture Capital Funds globally – with a focus on funds investing in the US and China/Asia.
