The Investment Universe

The Averdas Productivity Venture Fund focuses on ventures ranging from Seed to Series A, supporting their growth at early stages.

The fund selects ventures that have at least developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and, ideally, have validated their business model with initial revenues. This focus ensures we invest in companies with proven potential and a clear path to scalable growth. The alignment with the public fund aims to create a reinforcing positive double loop.

Already during the select and invest phase, we think of a dual play for a double win:

  • We check, if the Productivity Ventures fit to the Productivity Leaders.

  • We analyze, if Corporates from the Productivity Leaders Funds could stay on the Productivity Frontier.

Investment Rules – To properly assess our risks, we rely on quantitative data

To properly assess our risks, we rely on quantitative data. We quantify technology, processes, and dynamic capabilities through external available data and Averdas quantitative methodology. To ensure reliability and validity, we estimate emerging technologies via Averdas Business Analytics.
