STRATEGY
EPIC VC: Navigating the Future of Impact Investing
In a world teeming with investment opportunities, EPIC VC stands out as a beacon of strategic focus and expertise. Our commitment to making a positive impact drives us to concentrate our efforts and resources where they matter most. At the heart of EPIC VC Fund’s investment strategy lie two broad, high-growth industries and two verticals that together form the cornerstone of our impact-driven vision.
Horizontal Focus on Global Industries
1. Healthcare: With a staggering $10.5 trillion market size in 2021 and a robust CAGR of 7%, the healthcare sector is a prime domain for EPIC Fund’s investments. We delve into areas such as medtech, biotech, and diagnostics, supporting innovations that have the potential to revolutionize the way we approach healthcare.
2. Sustainability: As the world collectively seeks sustainable solutions, EPIC Fund stands firm in its commitment to the environment and the global economy. With a $1.5 trillion market in 2021 and an astounding CAGR of 21% from 2020 to 2030, we actively engage in greentech, clean energy, and environmental tech, championing ventures that drive a greener, more sustainable future.
Vertical Specialization
In addition to our horizontal industries, EPIC VC Fund has a strategic focus on two key verticals:
1. Maritime Innovations: As technology rapidly transforms the maritime industry, we invest in groundbreaking solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability at sea.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI): The AI landscape is continually evolving, and EPIC Fund is at the forefront, supporting innovations that harness the power of AI to reshape industries and drive growth.
Sharper Focus, Stronger Impact:
Our concentrated approach isn’t just about narrowing our scope; it’s about achieving more. Focusing allows us to conduct better due diligence, offer unwavering support to our investees, and ultimately, secure more profitable exits. EPIC Fund is not here merely to invest; we’re here to be catalysts for transformation.
Investment Targets That Align with Our Vision:
EPIC VC Fund has distinct characteristics in mind when seeking investments:
– We target SMEs that show tangible market traction, have established revenues, or possess a clear pathway to early revenues, often referred to as the “low-hanging fruit”
– Strong intellectual property and cutting-edge technology are prerequisites for our investments, setting them apart from the current state-of-the-art
– We look for ventures with the ability to create and sustain a barrier to entry in their respective markets
– Our ideal investees are led by visionary, dynamic teams, ideally with prior experience, and the capability to attract and manage non-dilutive funding
– We aim for investments with a global market opportunity of ideally over €500 million
– Revenue potential of over €5 million within three years is a key criterion
Minimizing Risks, Maximizing Returns:
EPIC VC Fund’s strategy minimizes idiosyncratic risks. Through a well-balanced mix of diversification, which includes a significant number of investees at various stages of development, including post-revenue SMEs, we ensure a resilient portfolio. Simultaneously, our industry-focused approach allows us to specialize and provide tailored support to our investees, mitigating risks and maximizing returns.
At EPIC VC, our vision isn’t just to invest; it’s to make an impact, to drive innovation, and to shape a brighter and more sustainable future. Join us on this remarkable journey as we chart the course for impact investing in the 21st century.
