# Phased Investment Approach

Structured, data-driven model that advances ventures through staged phases with defined milestones, capital, and support.

## Philosophy

“Combine sweat and smart capital to build AI-driven businesses — enabling students and early founders to launch real companies.”

## Soft Benefits for Investors

Exclusive insights, founder updates, European innovation support, early access, and community events.

## Company Types & Engagement

Two engagement modes based on incubation intensity and maturity.

## Milestones & Targets

Per-phase outcomes and KPIs to progress: customer validation, ARR targets, fundraising readiness.

## Portfolio Expectation

Power-law profile: 1/10 → 5×, 3/10 → 2×, 6/10 → 0×; expected ~9–10% annualized (3-year adjusted).

## Founder Types

Complementary pair: Builder (tech/product) and Seller (GTM/sales) — typically ~20h/week during incubation.

## Investor Structure

Aggregates capital via non-returnable, no-interest loans (€20k–€100k per investor) to support ~10 ventures.

## Phase 3 – Scale Readiness (18 months)

Company formation (UG/GmbH) → seed investment; goal: ARR ≈ €1.2M and readiness to scale.

## Co-Building Approach

Shared AI tooling, coding support, GTM resources, and customer validation via HP network.

## Phase 2 – Growth Preparation (12 months)

MVP → traction → angel round; goal: reach early PMF with ARR ≈ €300k.

## Financial Structure

Valuations, investments, ownership progression, and per-company capital plan across phases.

## Phase 1 – Incubation (6 months)

Idea → prototype → first customer; goal: validate problem–solution fit and initial revenue signal.
