Bright Future Club
We are pioneers ourselves
We're pioneers at heart, having journeyed the path of founders ourselves, familiar with its challenges and triumphs. With years of experience in impact investing, we know what truly counts.
Today, we are not just building another VC; we are crafting the impact VC we once dreamt of as founders. Fueled by our passion for driving meaningful change, we embrace the most pressing challenges head-on. It's the absolute will of moving the needle, bit by bit, that keeps us going every day.
Our commitments go beyond financial support; we're in it for the long run. In a world fraught with uncertainty, we stand firm. We're collaborative co-pilots, navigating alongside our founders, driven by a determination to ensure success along the triple bottom line.
The Bright Future Club is more than just a mere collection of individual investments. We leverage the power of our network of expert advisors and entrepreneurial investors, as well as the synergies among the startups we support. We are a community of changemakers on a mission to connect the dots. Together, we carve a path to greatness with determination and a unique club-like atmosphere.
Co-piloting to Success
Every investor provides money and smart investors may offer their network and expertise. Only the best build self-fertilizing communities, and only we see the world through the eyes of the founders.
As still young entrepreneurs ourselves, we can put ourselves in the shoes of young founders, intervening where others keep their distance and building connections that go beyond the ordinary. We gain insights and deal flow that other investors can’t, but still: young investors and expertise? How does that work? We combine boldness and strong expertise, thanks to a unique community of mentors, partners and smart investors, as well as the experience we have gained from our own mistakes and successes. Our limited partners consist of successful entrepreneurs, former founders, and, last but not least, successful family businesses with decades of expertise.
We pursue a special approach: we invest early, very early. Our goal is to close the gap between business angels and institutional investors. We are co-pilots, navigating through the feared Valley of Death - the phase between first traction and scaling. The goal is always aligned and clear: together, we bridge the best ideas into growth and beyond.
What our Entrepreneurs say
“If I could name all the reasons why Tobias and the team are different & outstanding, I would need half a book. Let’s just name a few: They are honest and straightforward, they deliver and they execute. They jump in for an operational task if things go wild and squeeze in the extra hour. And they are very serious about the impact topic. Lot of people out there start to call themselves impact investors, but with them, I am 110% sure it comes from the bottom of their hearts. On the same side, they are very rational, with a financial background that makes a unique and powerful combination to work with.”
"The Bright Future Club creates an exceptional network by bringing together innovative leaders from the old and new economy and facilitating an exchange of ideas. We admire their authenticity and proactive engagement not only as investors but also as mentors. They have a clear vision, good values and actively participate, often jumping in to support on critical issues when needed and always finding an extra hour to move forward. Combined with their solid financial expertise, they provide an advantage to any founder working towards a better future.”
“The BFC has been an absolute game changer for Shit2Power. From day one, their commitment to our vision has been unwavering. They bring more than just investment and belief in the potential of our team: Their a hands-on approach to tackling challenges together is just the right amount of investor engagement and founders independence. Their genuine passion for impact investing, coupled with sharp financial acumen, makes them a powerhouse partner for any entrepreneur aiming to make a real difference. Working with BFC means having not just investors, but true allies by your side.”
Manifesto
Capitalism is not perfect. Yet it holds one powerful truth: When an idea succeeds economically, it spreads. And when it outperforms the status quo, it disrupts. Not by command, but by inevitability.
Others will imitate it. They will chase the same success. And a chain reaction begins. One that reaches far beyond its original spark.
We choose to use this force for good. We invest our energy, our talent, and our capital into ideas that can thrive in the market and make the world a better place. Because true impact scales only when it wins economically.
Today, we stand at a turning point in the global economy. What the Club of Rome warned of in 1972 is now visible in every linear business model around us. We have reached the limits of planetary growth. Furthermore, we are confronted with multiple political and social crises and rising uncertainty. The old systems are straining. The future demands something new.
But within these volatile times lies an extraordinary opportunity: the opportunity to reshape industries, to regenerate our planet, and to build resilience. The time for a brighter future is now.
Capitalism and the Triple Bottom Line.
