How we can help

C2I Ventures has strong operational experiences to provide strategic value add in key areas that includes: 
 
Seed funding
 
C2I Ventures does seed funding for startups. Seed funding is the earliest stage of venture funding. It pays your expenses while you're getting started. 
Some companies may need no more than seed funding. Others will go through several rounds. There is no right answer; how much funding you need depends on the kind of company you start.


Our funding model is called "Crowdfundingan alternate approach to get investments for a start-up. Unlike traditional models which rely on large contributions from one or two institutions, crowdfunding is based on raising small sums from many people. Instead of raising 300,000 EUR from three angels (100,000 EUR each), you collect 10,000 EUR from 30 private investors.

At C2I Ventures, our goal is to get you through the first phase. This usually means: get you to the point where you've built something impressive enough to raise money on a larger scale. Then we introduce you to later stage investors—or occasionally even acquirers.

Strategy Consulting & Investment Advisory

  • Clarifying Corporate Strategy & Message: The most fundamental point for examining how to build your business on your own, or with partners such as angel investors, or with Venture capitalists is to have a clear and concise, easily communicated message as to what you do. We have various modes of practice to help you do that.
  • Business Model Definition: We have experience from hundreds of companies worldwide helping them finding right mode of business and business model that suits their product or services as well as capabilities of the corporate team. Sometimes we undertake work to help the company owners build a team better aligned to their business goals.
  • Investment Advisory: We are typically hired 6-9 months prior to aimed financing round when we undertake making the company so called investment ready. We often stay as advisory board members or in the board of directors at owners’request.
