Investment thesis
CoastCap is an industry-agnostic investment firm investing across seed and growth stages in private capital markets, from early-stage funding through pre-IPO deals. Drawing on the team's own experience as founders, financial engineers and transaction lawyers, the firm targets visionary business concepts and is willing to back companies as early as the prototype and trial stages. It favors companies creating value through automation, technology or applied science, and provides guidance on scaling, fundraising and team-building while keeping companies founder-controlled. Though rooted in central Europe, it is open to opportunities in any business-friendly jurisdiction.
