VENTURE CREATION

Venturing
What if you could fast-track innovation?
We run our venturing and investment initiatives under the brand Things Growth Capital.
Our belief is that it takes an entrepreneurial drive to have a positive impact. As we create value for our stakeholders, we bear in mind that ecosystems are essential to economic and social value creation, especially environments of co-creation in which large corporations team up with highly innovative startups.
We equally witness a removal of barriers between the private, the public and philanthropic sectors as well as we see and support the emerging investment philosophy of profit with purpose.
