For more than&nbsp;<strong>25 years<\/strong>, we\u2019ve been supporting entrepreneurs on their journey from foundation to IPO or sale. Already&nbsp;<strong>7 of our realized portfolio companies<\/strong>&nbsp;exceeded the&nbsp;<strong>billion-dollar valuation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Grazia<\/strong>\u00a0is financially\u00a0<strong>independent<\/strong>. Being entrepreneurs ourselves, we work\u00a0<strong>with a very high share<\/strong>\u00a0of our own capital. This gives us high flexibility and enables us to make fast and pragmatic decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grazia<\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0<strong>reliable<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>partner along the life cycle<\/strong>\u00a0of a company. While we are often one of the first investors with ticket sizes usually between\u00a0<strong>EUR 0.5mn and EUR 2.5mn<\/strong>, we budget sufficient capital for each company to remain a strong partner for entrepreneurs during the development of their firm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grazia<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0<strong>driven by<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>passion<\/strong>. We only invest in topics and teams that excite us. For example, we\u2019ve been investing in clean tech since\u00a0<strong>1998<\/strong>, so impact investing is part of our DNA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grazia<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0<strong>very selective\u00a0<\/strong>in choosing projects and teams. Without pressure to invest we only support what we believe to be the best of the best. Once we are in, founders can count on our full commitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grazia<\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0<strong>true asset<\/strong>. Founders benefit from our unique business network to leading decision makers as well as from our extensive business-building expertise in B2B and B2C. We support and advise our founders with both strategic and operational challenges.\u00a0We constantly strive to meet the highest standards.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\">Having invested throughout two severe financial market crises, we have proven that we&nbsp;<strong>weather stormy times<\/strong>. At the end of the day,<strong>&nbsp;fairness and empathy&nbsp;<\/strong>are the essential values that shape our decisions, our actions and our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:84px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5403\" style=\"width:210px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark.png 2000w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-1024x409.png 1024w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-768x307.png 768w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-1536x614.png 1536w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-500x200.png 500w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-800x320.png 800w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-1280x511.png 1280w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/grazia_logo_n_RGB_dark-1920x767.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"393\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Alec_Grazia.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5400 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Alec_Grazia.png 393w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Alec_Grazia-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Alec_Grazia-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\">\u201eTackling climate change with innovation is more pressing than ever.
