The office operates as a single-family vehicle with no external LP commitments. Deployment spans early-stage seed through expansion rounds via direct co-investments and SPVs. Confirmed holdings include a Coinbase equity position. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, South America, Oceania and the Middle East. Additional focus areas include EdTech, circular economy plays and industrial tech. Co-investors have included Niklas Zennström of Atomico. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. The firm lists service partners in Europe, the United States and Asia. Adjacent structures include the Team Global Professorship for Disruptive Innovation and ownership of the Beaufront Grundbesitz mixed-use portfolio in Berlin.

This model allows direct execution on air-mobility and decarbonization platforms while preserving co-investment flexibility with external GPs.
