Info
Based in Stuttgart, Grazia has been supporting a large number of mostly young companies, often from their foundation to the Initial Public Offering or eventual sale. In contrast to other venture capital firms, we predominantly work with our own capital that we invest as entrepreneurs. This results in the following advantages and benefits for our portfolio companies: - independence - understanding for the situation and matter at hand - fast and pragmatic decision making Grazia contributions range from a few hundred thousand to several million Euros per investment. Grazia focuses on Europe and in particular, Germany. Grazia co-invests in selected situations in the USA. Having invested through two severe financial market crises, Grazia has proven that we weather stormy times. At the end of the day, fairness, empathy and passion are the essential values that shape our decisions, actions and our lives.
