  • How do I apply?
    Please send your pitch deck to getstarted@squareonefoods.com. Your presentation should ideally include a financial overview of your company and the main terms of the investment deal
  • What is your ticket size?
    We invest between 200K and 1m EUR
  • What stage do you invest in?
    We typically invest between the Seed and Series A stage of a startup. However, we welcome applications from earlier stages too, as it might speed up the process later
  • Do you invest outside of geographic Europe?
    No
  • Will you sign an NDA?
    No. We receive a large number of applications each month, which makes it infeasible to engage in lengthy NDA discussions. Besides, such agreements are extremely difficult to enforce in real life and add little value
