It sounds exciting. Let's find out all about it!
SCHWEIZER KAPITAL Group and KINGSTONE Capital Partners Join Forces for a New Rigorous Venture Capital Impact Strategy.
Oh, okay. 'Never mind, boss.' Shut up, Voice!
Dusseldorf/Zurich, 17 December 2021: Umut Ertan (47), who owns the family office Schweizer Kapital in Zurich as a corporate investor, and Philipp Schomberg (37) as well as Dr. Tim Schomberg (40) from the investment company KINGSTONE Capital Partners, which specializes in real estate investments, have jointly founded the venture capital company Kingstone Schweizer Ventures (KSV). Their goal is to fund, through investment, those cutting-edge strategies within the impact universe that are particularly distinguished by their pioneering spirit and disruptive approaches.
I'm getting loads of PR emails from Europe these days - the mainland, I mean. 'Finance is dead in Britain, boss.' Yes, you may be right.
Anyway ...
"The challenges of the climate crisis are more than well known. With KSV, on the one hand, we want to advance solutions that have a far-reaching, rapid impact due to their technology and creativity, and on the other hand, we want to introduce investors to ideas that are outside the mainstream," explains Umut Ertan, co-founder and shareholder of KSV.
Well, okay. No endorsement, obviously, from me, like, because I don't understand anything about it, and, what's more ... I don't want to understand!!! It's nearly Christmas, you dig? All I care about this late in the year is mince pies. 'And Christmas cake.' Yes, and Christmas cake. 'And crackers, and cheese, and pickled onions.' Ha! Well, obviously, crackers, and cheese, and pickled onions. 'And chocolates.' Yes, and chocolates. 'And Kronenbourg lager.' All right, don't go on! Christ!
Anyway ...
Based on its long track record, Kingstone Schweizer Ventures combines the values of a family office with the pioneering spirit of founders and its own track record as an institutional investor with combined assets under management of over 2 billion euros.
Right. / And the final word from Philipp ...
"We have the highest standards when it comes to the investment approach and only support companies with clear scientific concepts and entrepreneurial ingenuity. We have developed a keen sense for first-class founders and management teams," explains Philipp Schomberg, co-founder and shareholder of KSV.
Okay, okay. Well, good luck with it all.

Good Times
I've had my doubts about Good Times because it's so simple, BUT(!) ... it's a big, commercial song and it deserves its place on the list.
You dig? Nice one!
I mean, the list will change as time goes by, obviously ... all I'm saying is, I've been obsessed for ages by the idea of matching what I think are the Beatles ten best songs ... and this is it, man!
Laters.
'What about fitness, boss?'
Fitness? I'm not sure I want to do push-ups again. I like doing them, but I think they might have damaged my back a bit. 'Well, just have a longer rest then.' Yes, or I could switch to dumbbells, permanently. The only problem is ... lifting my dumbbells is like lifting two feathers now. 'Buy heavier ones then.' Yeah, yeah. That's more money. 'It's a good investment, Mikey.' Oh, I suppose.
Anyway ...
