Andreas brings a commercial background, specializing in the Food & Beverage industry and Information Technology, while Nanco is a professional engineer with expertise in heavy industry and environmental sectors.This unique yet highly effective blend of skills has greatly shaped the solutions, modules, and processes we offer. Today, we provide flexible service packages that can be tailored to the specific needs of clients across various industries.Europe is an attractive but extremely competitive market, making entry a complex challenge. By leveraging our experience, we provide pragmatic, results-driven solutions that streamline processes, ensuring a smooth and efficient path to success.Along the way, we encountered numerous clients with strong concepts and promising business models - yet limited access to the funding required for their next stage of growth. In response, we established CapitalCraft Global, our sister organisation dedicated to investor matchmaking.CapitalCraft Global supports start-ups, scale-ups, and growth-stage companies in becoming investor-ready. This includes sharpening their pitch decks and identifying the right financing partners - whether private investors, family offices, or public funding schemes. By combining qualified preparation with a carefully curated investor network, we help promising ventures secure the capital they need to grow.
