Zentyment Is a Different Kind of Investment and Business Development Company

We take an opportunistic, flexible, nimble, and transformative approach to investing and business development.

We are very non-corporate and non-institutional, so we like to get actively involved in our investments, when needed.

Our investments are primarily in people, their ideas, and their business prospects – in that order.

Zentyment Is The Chicago Based Branch of Nussbaumer Beteiligungsgesellschaft (Holding), Hamburg/Germany.

Our Criteria, The Process

In early-stage companies, we are looking for a founder or founding team with business- and technology skills.

Developing a new business requires sales-, financing- and technology experience.

We will look at pitch desks and we like a well-structured data room. Depending on the opportunity, we will invest between $75,000 and $150,000 in a first round.

Investing in Financial Markets

We are active investors in the financial markets, alone and occasionally in collaboration with hedge funds and trading firms. We are agnostic to individual markets and instruments.

We invest worldwide and in any class of assets, except for crypto. We express our views and explain our strategy via a regular newsletter on Substack and LinkedIn. 

Research

As investors and entrepreneurs, we like to take a broad view of the world – economically, politically and culturally. Putting out thoughts into writing requires research, analysis and often changes our initial position. We run two substacks in addition to our writing on LinkedIn and other media

ALPHATRADINGLAB Substack

A newsletter about investment strategies, trading, markets, economics and making money.
