AQAL Capital

AQAL Capital, based in Munich, stands as a testament to the vision and pioneering spirit of the award-winning and globally recognized serial entrepreneurs and investors, Tom Schulz and Dr. Mariana Bozesan. As the 2017 European Early Stage Investor and the 2019 Female Business Angel of the Year, as well as a distinguished member of the Club of Rome and the World Academy of Art and Science, their investment philosophy is rooted in leveraging exponentially growing technologies to address the existential challenges facing humanity. Their work extends beyond mere financial returns to embody a holistic approach to investing, encapsulated in their publication and report to the Club of Rome, “Integral Investing: From Profit to Prosperity,” published by Springer in 2020. This groundbreaking work delineates a path toward sustainable prosperity, emphasizing investments that not only yield profit but also contribute positively to the planet and society.

We invest in state-of-the-art exponential technology companies which have the potential for integral impact, including substantial growth, while implementing the UN SDGs within the Planetary Boundaries. We focus on seed and early-stage companies. Their leadership team must be strong, their technology must be proven, and should have a short runway to cash flow break-even. Our regional focus is the European Union with the main emphasis on DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). A few selected investments are also made in the San Francisco Bay Area. According to our Integral Investing philosophy, the business models of our investees must be transferable to other countries, be scalable to market leadership, and deliver sustainable and risk-adjusted returns on multiple bottom lines as defined by our 6Ps: Parity of People, Planet, and Profit — with Passion and Purpose. Given our investing expertise, background, and entrepreneurial experience, we are focusing on three main sectors of innovation for life in the 21st century: Exponential Technology & Digital Evolution: Internet Infrastructure, Artificial Intelligence, B2B IT Solutions, Digital Design Green Technology: Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, CleanTech, Circular Economy Life in the 21st century: Future Mobility, Nutrition & Agro, Med Tech, Media & Entertainment Tech Our thesis is best described in our book "Integral Investing: From Profit to Prosperity" by Mariana Bozesan, published by Springer. https://aqalgroup.com/book-integral-investing/ Our current portfolio https://aqalgroup.com/portfolio/ focuses on AI, Health, and DeepTech.
