Believing in the power of ideas and the passion of people,
Segnalita invests in the creation of long term entrepreneurial values.
We are convinced that every idea has the potential to change the world and to sustainably create long term values for the people, the society and the environment. Segnalita actively contributes to this vision by developing pioneering companies and high-quality brands with a commitment for purpose and impact.
Our beliefs build on the legacy of entrepreneur Gernot Langes-Swarovski, who significantly pushed the transformation of Swarovski from a simple industrial supplier into an international luxury brand, but also got involved with ideas, which reflected his values for economic and ecologic sustainability. His pioneering spirit serves as inspiration today for everything we work on.
Segnalita invests in passionate entrepreneurs with courage and creativity. Together we create scalable business models and long term partnerships, reflecting an understanding of sustainable development and binding values.
Segnalita is aware of its responsibility towards the society, the environment and founders. We appreciate ideas for what they actually are, the base for sustainable value creation. Their development forms the foundation for future successes.
For this reason we elaborated three main criteria forming a joint path towards development and growth. Together they define Segnalita‘s investment focus and clearly reflect the high demands we put on ourselves and on the people we work together with.
EARLY ENTRY
Only collaboration from the earliest stage allows us to develop ideas and prosperous businesses together.
PERFORMANCE PARTNERING
We follow an approach of partnering based on mutual understanding and a joint commitment.
VENTURE FOR VALUE
Our focus is the creation of sustainable values and long-term partnerships beyond financial quick wins.
The road from a startup to a well established company is a long one and requires support that goes beyond financial commitment from investors. We are convinced that only the interplay of different supporting elements provides substantial and instrumental added value for companies especially in their early stages.
This is why Segnalita not only offers the necessary financial support but a package of essential elements, based on broad-base know how and within a strong network of strategic contributors, for the development of ideas and lasting values.
