Our approach
Polinoo Invest Brings you capital and support to unlock the first points of friction, without getting stuck in heavy processes. With Invest, you can:
- Financing a key step : MVP, product iterations, launch, first acquisition channels, structuring
- Accelerate without complicating : no bank file to set up
- Stay focused/focused : no external investors to manage, fewer contacts, more execution
- Securing the fundamentals : priorities, method, legal and administrative start-up framework
- Gain credibility : an involved partner who helps to structure and deliver
Ticket: €15,000 to €50,000, depending on the stadium, the need and the ambition of the project.
A lot of investors put a ticket and take a step back. We don't, we do the opposite.
- Private investment : we are not a public fund, and we do not operate a “volume” logic.
- Few projects, very selected : we only invest when we think we can make a concrete contribution.
- Operational intervention : not to “advise from afar”, but to help advance the topics that matter.
Our conviction: at this stage, the right mix is capital + execution, not capital + reporting.
