Connect to leading investors

1st Move is dedicated to discovering innovative and scalable business projects with strong market potential. 1st Move asks for a solid business plan supported by numbers and concrete plans for initial sales. ​To be considered for an investment, several criteria must be fulfilled: the idea, value proposition, description of market, customers and competition, commercial idea and strategy, and key people. Our sister company, 1st Mile (https://1stmile.dk), assists companies finding soft funding through anything from Innobooster to large EU funding programs. We hence have a strong network in the investment community and often enable syndication options and pull in other high-level investors for cases, as well as point towards public funding options to the startups we invest in. We are approved under Vækstfondens BA COVID-19 program and can hence gear our contribution three times with a loan.

Voluntas Holding er et familieejet investeringsselskab med midtjyske rødder, der investerer i startups og mindre virksomheder. Med baggrund i et netop gennemført generationsskifte, ser vi os som en ”2-generations investor” med kompetencer i nutidens behov, kombineret med mange års erfaring i forretningsudvikling og internationalisering. Selskabet er ejet af Mogens Olsen og sønnerne Marc og Lasse Olsen, som begge er aktive i selskabet – deraf: ”3 investorer, 2 generationer, 1 familie”. Vores investeringsstrategi fokuserer ikke på bestemte brancher/forretningsmodeller, fordi interesse- og kompetencefeltet spænder bredt. Udviklingsmuligheder, købmandskab og god kemi med en kompetent ledelse vil være de afgørende faktorer i vores investeringsbeslutninger. Vi investerer både som enkeltstående investor samt i syndikater – gerne i et længevarende samarbejde og kun en exit-strategi, når og hvis det giver mening. Som investeringspartner kan vi tilbyde +30 års erfaring med egne startups, sourcing i Asien og Østeuropa, internationalisering, vedholdenhed, vilje og solid sparring i en afslappet atmosfære. Involveringen fra vores side vil afhænge af den enkelte investering, men vi vil altid gå ydmygt til samarbejdet med stor respekt for iværksætteren. Sidst men ikke mindst, har vi en grundlæggende passion for iværksætteri og startups, som vi ser frem til at bringe i spil i nye partnerskaber.
