Hello SEErs!

What does SEE mean?

Who’s working with us? SEE is short for “social and environmental entrepreneurship” start-ups:

> Both kinds of projects have similar financial needs (approx. EUR 300 – 600 k p.a.
for the first 2 – 4 years of operation in order to get started, and to become financially independent) –
which is not the deal volume conventional investors are interested in
> Both aim at a triple bottom line however, are not creating a strong ROI (mostly less than 10 % p.a.) –
which again is not appealing for financial investors
> Both are prone to improve their managerial skills
> Both are driven by a strong desire to innovate in non-industrial areas, to improve our living conditions,
and to save the planet (rather than just making tons of money)
