In our view, being a respon\u00adsi\u00adble investor means believ\u00ading that we owe some\u00adthing far beyond our cap\u00adi\u00adtal com\u00admit\u00adment to the com\u00adpa\u00adnies in which we are invested<\/strong>. It means we will strive and fight for their suc\u00adcess while always act\u00ading with integrity. Clas\u00adsi\u00adcally, we con\u00adtribute more than cap\u00adi\u00adtal to our Investee-Part\u00adners by using our net\u00adwork and other resources to ben\u00ade\u00adfit them as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble. More specif\u00adi\u00adcally, respon\u00adsi\u00adble invest\u00ading can also mean com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcat\u00ading clearly, trans\u00adpar\u00adently, and hon\u00adestly with our val\u00adued co-investors and Investee-Part\u00adners<\/strong> and proac\u00adtively inform\u00ading them of our abil\u00adity and will\u00ading\u00adness to par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpate in future fundraisings.<\/p>\n

Although some may argue that pri\u00advate investors have the right to view their invest\u00adments sim\u00adply in a trans\u00adac\u00adtional way, we strongly believe that, espe\u00adcially in the early stages, when com\u00adpa\u00adnies are still in the process of find\u00ading their best path and each investor is of extreme impor\u00adtance, all investors should have some sense of addi\u00adtional com\u00admit\u00adment to fur\u00adther assist the com\u00adpa\u00adnies in which they are invested. It is surely true that the best way for an investor to ensure a strong finan\u00adcial return in early-stage invest\u00adments, where the bulk of value cre\u00adation lies in the future, is to coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtively con\u00adtribute value to the company.<\/p>\n

The def\u00adi\u00adnite actions that an investor can take to con\u00adtribute to their ven\u00adture invest\u00adments vary greatly depend\u00ading on the com\u00adpany and investor. How\u00adever, at a min\u00adi\u00admum, early-stage investors should have a will\u00ading\u00adness to open their net\u00adwork to the com\u00adpany and effi\u00adciently and cor\u00adrectly process all documentation\/voting require\u00adments with\u00adout play\u00ading any unnec\u00ades\u00adsary games.<\/p>\n

Impor\u00adtantly, being a respon\u00adsi\u00adble investor in a com\u00adpany does not mean that an investor agrees with all of management\u2019s deci\u00adsions or that valu\u00adable crit\u00adi\u00adcism is with\u00adheld<\/strong>. Exactly the oppo\u00adsite is true, because engage\u00adment is the pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsite for con\u00adstruc\u00adtive con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtion, and engage\u00adment means sort\u00ading through the var\u00adi\u00adous ini\u00adtia\u00adtives and chal\u00adlenges with a dis\u00adcern\u00ading eye in order to assist the com\u00adpany in achiev\u00ading its ulti\u00admate goals.<\/p>\n

In Th\u00fcrin\u00adgen we are extremely for\u00adtu\u00adnate to have attracted pri\u00advate investors who under\u00adstand invest\u00ading is a two-way street. The nature of our high-tech B2B com\u00adpa\u00adnies means that it is clear from the begin\u00adning of the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between com\u00adpany and investor that this is a mar\u00adriage and not just a fling. This mar\u00adriage takes dili\u00adgent work from both sides, as excep\u00adtional cor\u00adpo\u00adrate devel\u00adop\u00adment and expo\u00adnen\u00adtial invest\u00adment returns are only attain\u00adable with con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtions from all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We are grate\u00adful to have a clear man\u00addate to be a respon\u00adsi\u00adble investor and we look for\u00adward to con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading to make mutu\u00adally-ben\u00ade\u00adfi\u00adcial matches between other like-minded investors and our out\u00adstand\u00ading Investee-Part\u00adners for the ben\u00ade\u00adfit of all involved.<\/p>\n
