The name Participium refers to participation. You might already have understood that. But it was never properly explained what that participation exactly means. For many, participation only means a contribution in capital. And that is not the intention of Participium. Quite the opposite.
Participating in the adventure
For us, even participating with capital means more than a financial transaction. It should mean taking part in an adventure. Whether it concerns a growth company or a starter, a growth spurt is the least predictable period in a company’s life. At the same time, it is the most fascinating period. These are the times where entrepreneurs are distinguished from managers. At this point, insight, experience, gut feeling and drive are more important than spreadsheets.
Therefore, Participium advises growth companies to attract more than one investor in their search for capital. And by involving those investors enough to being able to take part in the adventure. This way they get the chance to help and contribute where they can. They could open doors… or provide hints.
Attract several investors
By attracting several investors, you avoid that one large investor-owner dominates the team of entrepreneurs. A broad group of investors allows the entrepreneurs to do their business. It gives them the opportunity to realize that adventure together and to develop the necessary drive to achieve success. It also opens up opportunities for employees and partners to participate in that success.
Meanwhile, Participium wants to help. Helping to manage. Helping to win. That also is participation. Participium supports growth companies to fully realize their potential in a well-founded way.
That is what Participium stands for. Jan Lagast hopes that many are willing to help Participium realize this beautiful adventure. He thanks you in advance for your participation.
