Testimonials
SICTIC is an outstanding investor’s circle that combines passion for startups and in-depth entrepreneurial experience with the power of seed money to make things happen.
The SICTIC Investor has intensively supported us with his knowledge and his network in the start–up phase of Contovista. The support was at least as valuable as the investment
We have 2 SICTIC Investors invested into our company. As former entrepreneurs with experience in Europe and Asia , they both bring a lot of knowledge into our company. For us was very important to secure “smart” money, so we can accelerate the growth of our company. Also we were very satisfied with the overall investment process, everything went very smooth and fast.
