TEAM

Our Team

No Such Ventures was founded to offer an alternative to the rigid, passive investment approach that is prevalent across Europe. Flexibility and active support are the core principles on which we built our company culture of today. 

Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of European success stories. You build them.

Committed. To winning. Together.

With many of the No Such Team having a background in elite (sports) performance, we nurture a culture of competitiveness and collaboration. We are competitive and like to win. We recognise that like in elite sports, collaborative teams beat loose groups of soloists every time. We are as committed to winning as we are to each-other and those we work with.

We operate according to four core values:

  • Original - we are true to ourselves, fair to others and think independently. We solve problems and forge lasting relationships with authenticity, humor and creativity

  • Flexible - we think out-of-the-box. If we recognise good, we will make it fit

  • Focused - we prioritize paying attention to what truly matters, recognising that 80% of outcomes result from 20% of inputs and with startups, speed equals success 

  • Fit - we take care of body and mind to excel on a daily basis and execute with discipline
