how we work
we have established naturalX as a financially-driven, strategic investment arm for the Schwabe Group. despite a partial strategic nature, our investments come with no strings attached to give entrepreneurs the liberty to always take the best decisions for the venture
we are not bound by strict investment criteria and work with a capital commitment of €100mio. this allows for a lot of flexibility and we can invest with a long-term investment horizon, not bound to fund cycles furthermore, we deliberately try to move quickly and have established a lean Investment Committee to drive decisions
