What services do you offer?
RCI Partners recommends investments to RCI and provides flat-rate support for RCI holdings.
RCI Partners works closely with the management of associated companies.RCI is an investment company that brings together Business Angels.
The combination of these two companies offers comprehensive support for business development and seed investments to maximize project success.
We work both for start-ups and for investment funds (as an operating partner).
How do you get involved in the projects?
It all depends on the needs and wishes of the founders : some want their investors to be very involved, others not. We like to discuss this in advance and establish a mutual understanding before investing. More often than not, we are involved in 3 areas: People / Business / Financing. For example, helping to recruit people into key positions, contributing to the marketing strategy, assisting with non-dilutive financing and making presentations at all levels: potential customers, investors in the next financing round, external development partners, etc. More info Are there any "market verticals" that you avoid?
We are cautious about investing in highly regulated sectors. We do not invest in B2C. We do not invest in companies with capital-intensive business models and/or that require many years of development to bring a product to market.
What's it like working with you?
What you do and what we do is difficult. It's hard, because it's risky. In fact, it wouldn't be sustainable if we didn't also manage to create a "fun and serious" relationship throughout the project.
What we do know is that 50% of your assumptions, and ours, are wrong at the start of every business creation journey. We see our added value mainly in helping you (and us) to quickly determine which 50% it is... then finding a solution and trying to find the "fun" along the business journey.
