Investment Focus and approach

Early & Quickly

We partner with savvy investors who realise that venture capital is delivering the highest returns of any asset class and that IT and software are top performers within the VC sector. The cost of creating, launching and scaling companies is lower than ever before, which massively reduces capital requirements for building new digital and online ventures in the digital world.

We offer smart venture capital for carefully selected high-potential online assets through Digital4s’ Identify Potential, Invest Early, Grow Quickly approach which improves significantly on the VC industry standard, where traditionally 90% of returns are produced by 10% of exits.

In summary, our investment strategy is building high potential ventures, diversifying portfolio, pre-screening via own methodology, co-investors and co-founders.
