About me.
I earned my first money with…
working for a real-estate fund management company while studying.
If I wouldn’t be an investor I would be…
an architect or a psychologist.
I get annoyed when…
people demotivate others by their pessimism or being negligent. You might want to make someone keep focused but you never want to take away his or her motivation and enthusiasm.
You might not believe it, but we…
have 16 Nobel Prize laureates in Hungary. Also the country has 1,500 spas and 22 wine regions. It is worth visiting!
My favourite movie is…
all the Ryan Gosling movies.
About passion and profession.
Our business relationship with startups is characterised by openness and close cooperation.”
Our investment fund is focused on startups in…
seed stage. At Day One Capital we do not have a specific sector focus, but we partner with exceptional founders bringing globally competitive businesses to life, turning a concept with market validation into a unique long-term success.
I wouldn’t like to work anywhere else because…
Here I meet very exciting and smart people and ideas from time to time, who/which motivate me. Hopefully, I can also motivate these talented people and contribute to their evolvement and success by my own means.
The investment plan for the next years is…
to build an international portfolio of high quality projects with genuine people and great synergies.
Our business relationship with startups is characterised by…
openness and close cooperation. We believe and experience that startups at this stage need support and regular consultations. We do not take over, but we are always there with our expertise and network if needed.
Besides money I offer…
that we take you to the next level with management support, access to our extended network and help to find the right fit for follow-on investments. We do care about our portfolio companies.
About working with startups.
For me the ideal founders are humble, genuine and committed.”
In a startup I am looking for…
not just an innovative idea but a clear vision, a growing market, an international story and founders being able to stay focused.
Characteristics a founder team should have are…
For me the ideal founders are humble, genuine and committed, and are able to find the right balance between being competitive and being cooperative. It’s like a relationship, you need some chemistry!
I was most impressed by…
a founder who was very modest while already having the most influential global customers and presenting a breakthrough solution for us.
I was least impressed by …
startuppers who only do this for a living and who do not actually live their own startup’s moments.
You get most out of relationship with me when…
You impress me with what you already have instead of what you could have. Be committed, clear, structured and be on time.
