Long-term studies show a significantly higher return from early-stage investments than from later-stage investments. Especially the early-stage investments in Europe have attractive valuations.

However, early-stage investments require massive management attention and specific sector expertise from the investor. smac | partners has an impressive track record in leading entrepreneurs to success.

The global ICT sector is a sizeable market environment in excess of € 2,000 billion and it is steadily growing. Even more important are the smaller innovation segments which allow start-ups to find an appropriate niche often show annual growth rates of 50% and more.
