Vision

The Positive Economy^TM, a conceptual framework developed by BeCitizen, is central in BeCapital’s vision. According to the Positive Economy^TM, economic growth can only be sustained if it preserves and restores the environment as well as natural resources. Consequently, companies addressing the challenges of the Positive Economy^TM will benefit from significant growth prospects.

Mission

BeCapital’s Mission is to identify companies complying with the Positive Economy^TM and to support their development by providing them with growth capital and by leveraging its networks and expertise for these companies’ benefit.
In order to evaluate whether technologies and applications qualify under the Positive Economy^TM, these are assessed on five themes: energy, climate, resources, toxicity and biodiversity. In practice, technologies with positive impacts on some/all themes and without major side-effects, irrespectively of their economic sector, qualify under the Positive Economy^TM concept and represent BeCapital’s investment scope.

Investment strategy

BeCapital targets companies with a proven, disruptive and proprietary technology, that need a medium term partner to finance the roll-out of their business model in Europe or globally.
Consequently, the focus lies on SMEs:

Active on a sizeable addressable market with high growth perspectives;
With proven and market-tested technologies;
With differentiating and defensible technologies;
With a scalable technology and business model;
With a skilled and experienced management team.

Venture Capital investments and projects with no proprietary technology (e.g. wind farm projects) are not part of the scope
