Ideas begin from an inkling.
tcamp, our pre-seed accelerator program, starts directly from the inkling - the spark - of a passionate entrepreneur.
Working together, we establish and invest in these very young companies at the intersection between IT and Cleantech: Digital Cleantech.
Our typical pre-seed investment: up to $100,000.
