Venture capital or private equity has been a successful investment strategy in the U.S. for a long time. Investors have achieved considerably higher returns on investment with this strategy than is possible with real estate or bonds. But to be successful, you have to do everything right.

The right moment to invest: Investing in young, innovative companies offers early investors great opportunities. The potential in the earliest phases of a young company and product development is especially great for the investors. That is why eCAPITAL concentrates on these lucrative venture capital phases when deciding on the moment to invest.

The right mix: Great opportunities always mean great risks. By having a mixed portfolio of investments with the emphasis on varied technologies we can limit the risk for the investor.

The right companies: When choosing our investments, we follow clear criteria for success:
The companies we invest in must, for example, have innovative technologies that can be protected, good market projections and an excellent team.

The right investment horizon: Only the sustained positive development of a company makes it possible for investors to achieve profitable exit scenarios. That is why eCAPITAL, as a matter of principle, does not invest in companies that were founded solely to achieve a short-term exit. Such companies do not make for wise investments.

The right price: Of course we make sure that conditions are acceptable. We have to ensure that our investors can participate in an above-average value enhancement of the company's shares for an affordable initial investment.
