Wind Capital mainly considers companies in the internet and technology industry at large. We also invest in environmental industries and luxury goods/services. We provide the necessary early-stage funding as well as network and experiences to back ambitious entrepreneurs to help them to reach the next steps of their journey.
With a “Low Volume – High Touch” strategy, Wind Capital and its team have already seeded more than 40 start-ups across 3 continents: Europe, North America and Asia.
In addition to financing, many start-ups or SME have benefitted from our hands-on experience of managing high-growth innovative companies operating in a changing environment.
