Welikestartup has established a comprehensive ecosystem for innovative company financing through its integrated network of services. This ecosystem includes the Win-up Endowment Fund, WeRaiseStartup Accelerator, proprietary and affiliated investment vehicles under WeLikeVenture, and collaborative associative networks through WeLikeAngels.

The organization maintains an impressively thorough evaluation process, engaging with over 2,000 entrepreneurs annually. From this initial pool, the WeLike Network conducts detailed assessments of more than 1,000 business proposals, ultimately selecting 500 promising ventures to present to its investor network. Beyond initial funding, WeLikeStartup provides continuous support throughout the company growth journey, from follow-on investments to later-stage Series A and B rounds, maintaining relationships until successful exits are achieved.

With roots tracing back nearly two decades to the founding of the Investessor association, the WeLike Network represents one of the pioneering forces in the European startup investment ecosystem. This longevity has allowed the network to build an impressive track record of supporting and financing over 300 companies across various sectors. The investment approach combines broad access to deal flow with highly selective final investment decisions, focusing on ventures with exceptional growth potential and strong fundamentals.

What distinguishes WeLikeStartup in the competitive investment landscape is its commitment to long-term value creation through hands-on involvement. The most promising companies within their portfolio receive direct investment coupled with intensive monitoring and strategic guidance.
