Requests for startupsThere are several themes that we are most interested in. Some of these are listed here. If your startup is answering any of these challenges, please mention this in your application. Of course, we are open to any other ideas as well.
Future of mobility
Transportation (automotive, the queen industry) is changing. This will have a huge impact on our cities and our lives. We want to be part of this change and are most interested in investing in technologies for electric and autonomous cars, charging infrastructure, electric batteries, grid management software, light electrical vehicles, drones…
Future of jobs
Finding meaning in what we do is fundamental for our happiness. As industries are being disrupted, jobs disappearing, automation replacing people, many of us are left wondering about the future of work. We want to support the daring entrepreneurs that take on these challenges and come up with solutions that will help millions of people make a living.
Future of real estate
Buildings are hardware. We are looking to invest in those tech visionaries that are writing software for the buildings of the future.
Future of agriculture
Technology has the power to eradicate famine on a global scale. Given Romania’s huge agricultural potential, we are actively looking to identify new technologies that make food more accessible for all by reducing waste, keeping pests under control, decreasing costs with human labor, allowing for better management of cultures and livestock and increasing productivity.
Future of coding
B2B, B2C and now B2D – business to developers. Better tools mean faster work and better results. We are looking to invest in your startup if your startup is making the work of your fellow developers more effective.
Future of cities
Cities have been taken over by cars, pollution, noise, garbage… All these have a bad impact on the quality of our lives. We want to invest in founders that are concerned about how our children will live in the megacities of the future. This is a call for all those startups that strive to find solutions to the problems we face every day in our hometowns.
Future of money
Fintech is one of the largest industries prone to disruption. Finance needs more transparency, fairness, speed, diversity. And people need more access to it, in an affordable way, all over the world.
