💡 The Qualities of a Successful Founder 🕴 Just like our portfolio companies led by the founders we support, CENITZ is a startup navigating its own daily challenges and strategic decisions. This firsthand experience gives us a profound appreciation for the qualities that define an exceptional founder: 💼 Hard Skills Paired with Vision: Founders need deep industry and technical expertise to navigate complex markets, but it’s the ability to envision beyond today’s challenges and execute on that vision that really sets the best founders apart. 🧭 Great Leadership: True leaders set a direction, instil a sense of purpose, and foster a culture where every team member feels valued and motivated to contribute their best. 💪 Resilience and Adaptability: Every founder faces setbacks. Those who see these as learning moments and adapt quickly really stand out. 🤝 Communication and Relationship-Building: A founder’s ability to connect meaningfully (with investors, customers, and the team) is essential for rallying support and building trust. 🕰️ Dedication and Drive: The journey from idea to impact is long. The dedication to see it through, paired with relentless commitment, often separates great founders from the rest. At Cenitz, we invest early, and that means prioritizing #people over everything else. We know that #founders with these qualities lay the strongest foundation for #success. 

🌟 Accéder à des investissements santé à fort potentiel – sans contraintes 🌟 En tant que business angels, nous connaissons tous ce parcours : compter sur des réseaux personnels et des plateformes où les opportunités sont rares. Nous partageons ce sentiment – nous sommes passés par là ! Mais imaginez que vous puissiez accéder à des deals exclusifs de startups à forte croissance, habituellement réservés aux meilleurs VC – tout en gardant le contrôle et la flexibilité entre vos mains. 🚀 🔍 C’est exactement ce que CENITZ vous offre : 1️⃣ Un #dealflow de haut niveau : Notre communauté d'investisseurs privés accède à des opportunités habituellement réservées aux fonds VC institutionnels. Nous nous concentrons sur des startups soigneusement sélectionnées, du Seed jusqu'à la Série A. 2️⃣ Une #sélection experte : Chaque projet est soigneusement choisi pour répondre à des critères exigeants. Du potentiel de marché à la capacité de croissance, en passant par la qualité des fondateurs et la pertinence du problème adressé, chaque opportunité est évaluée avec rigueur. Un comité scientifique, composé de médecins et de professionnels de santé, nous accompagne dans la réalisation d’une due diligence approfondie. 3️⃣ Un #accès direct aux fondateurs : Connectez-vous directement avec les fondateurs, posez vos questions et découvrez les personnes qui dirigent ces projets. C’est l’occasion de créer de vraies relations et d’élargir votre réseau. 🤝 ⚡️ Et le meilleur dans tout ça ? Avec CENITZ, vous bénéficiez de tous ces avantages, sans frais annuels. Bien que nous appliquions une petite commission de gestion, celle-ci est uniquement prélevée lorsque vous investissez et conçue pour préserver votre autonomie et optimiser vos rendements. Vous conservez ainsi toute la liberté de sélectionner les opportunités alignées avec vos objectifs et votre profil de risque.

Femmes, Santé & Innovation: Où en est-on chez Cenitz? Nous sommes convaincus qu'une entreprise équilibrée est un gage de succès, en particulier en matière de parité homme/femme. La diversité stimule l'innovation, et nous nous efforçons de tendre vers la parité dans notre portefeuille santé. 🔢 Voici où nous en sommes [work in progress🚂]: - 40 % de nos PDG sont des femmes. - 47 % de nos fondateurs sont des femmes. - 55% des patients traités par nos technologies sont des femmes. - Mais le défi reste de taille: seulement 5 % de nos investisseurs sont des femmes! ⁉️ Malgré nos efforts pour attirer des investisseuses, ce déséquilibre persiste. Héritage du passé ou frein culturel, peu importe. Il est temps de changer cette dynamique, et nous voulons être acteurs de ce changement. 🔊 Notre message est simple : si vous êtes une femme entrepreneuse et passionnée par l’innovation et la santé, nous voulons vous connaître! Nous vous voulons à nos côtés pour avancer! 💎 Cenitz est un club-deal d’entrepreneurs/entrepreneuses qui soutient l'innovation dans la santé à travers l'Europe. 🚀 Rejoignez-nous et transformons ensemble le futur de la santé.

☀️  Behind the Scenes - What we do for our Community ☀️ At Cenitz, every proposed investment is the result of a thoughtful and meticulous decision-making process. To earn the trust of our community, we know that each deal must be carefully curated and rigorously evaluated. Here’s an insider look into how we identify and support promising startups: 1) Initial Calls with the Founders ⬇️ It all begins with the visionaries behind the innovation. Our first step is getting to know the founders: their story, their passion, and their roadmap to success. We dive into their vision to ensure alignment with Cenitz’s mission. 2) Deep Dive into the Data Room ⬇️ We carefully analyze every single aspect of the business. From financials and IP protection to regulatory compliance and go-to-market strategy, we leave no stone unturned. This rigorous due diligence ensures we understand the startup's risks and potential before moving forward. 3) Community Feedback ⬇️ Our community of private investors and Medtech experts play an integral role. Their insights help us refine our understanding, identify potential red flags, and uncover hidden opportunities. We believe in the power of diverse perspectives. 4) Document Drafting ⬇️ With the groundwork laid, we start drafting essential documents, creating a clear, compelling story for the investment. These documents ensure our community has the full picture. 5) Pitch Preparation with Our LPs ⬇️ The final step is giving our LPs the chance to meet the founders directly. We organize a pitch where the founders present their vision, and our LPs get the opportunity to ask them questions firsthand. This direct engagement ensures our investors have full transparency and confidence in the team they’re backing. 6) Handling Legal and Juridical Processes ⬇️ Since we operate as a club deal, we establish a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for each investment. We take care of drafting contracts, negotiating with the company, and finalizing the shareholder agreements. Every legal detail is handled to ensure smooth collaboration, alignment of interests, and protection of our investors. ❤️ At the heart of CENITZ is our #community - our private investors and partners who bring invaluable perspectives and enthusiasm to the table. Curious to see which startups we’re backing next? Stay tuned for more success stories! 🎉
