IEF aims to invest in entrepreneurs with innovative business propositions with international potential. For IEF, an investment is more than just providing capital. It is a partnership with highly motivated founders in which IEF acts as a sparring partner to exchange ideas and share knowledge, know-how and IEF’s network. IEF partners invest their own capital, willing to make calculated risks, ensuring fast decision-making. No predefined investment criteria or exit pressure but investments for an indefinite period. IEF is willing to be the lead investor but also enjoys co-investing alongside like-minded partners. A typical IEF investment entails an initial commitment of € 250k. up to € 1m.
