Enabler
Expertise on demand
You know what you want to build, but you are missing technical industry expertise to make it happen.
TBF Ventures gives you access to engineering, planning and strategy know-how exactly when you need it, without building expensive full-time structures.
Connector
Network & access
You have the product but need the right network to succeed.
We know every key player in the field and position you at the right moment. Backed by 60 years of TBF + Partner.
Catalyst
Speed & transformation
You have momentum but need the right push.
We create shortcuts through focused pilot projects and direct feedback from real-world practice.
This is how we develop your solution iteratively toward market readiness while others are still stuck in planning.
Compass
Strategic sparring & team
You are making many decisions at once and are uncertain about your priorities.
We provide orientation: strategic sparring for founders, clarity in complex situations and support in team building.
Not as external consultants, but as co-thinkers at eye level.
Experience that truly moves your startup forward
From the start line to market readiness is more challenging than expected - especially without the right industry experience, network access and capital access. TBF + Partner has delivered complex projects in infrastructure, mobility and energy for more than 60 years. With this expertise we have developed an approach we call Exploring Together. We make this expertise usable for your company.
Our focus areas: your direct benefit
Technology & engineering
Your solution is technically strong - but industry experience cannot be googled. We bring deep know-how in infrastructure, mobility, energy and environment, technical integration in complex construction and infrastructure projects, as well as hands-on support from experts with real project experience.
Financing without loss of control
You need support - but not at the cost of your independence. Our services are provided in exchange for convertible notes - no cash outflow for you. You keep full control and decision-making freedom. And when you are ready, we connect you directly with the right capital providers within the TBF ecosystem.
From prototype to market
Your MVP works - but the first real customer still feels out of reach. We give you access to real pilot projects within the TBF environment, support you in validating your solution with your first customer, and create a direct path from idea to market readiness.
Growth strategy
You know where you want to go - but the path is still unclear. We are your sparring partner: we develop viable business models with you, analyze market potential and competition, and translate your vision into an actionable strategy - on equal footing, not as an external consultant.
The ideal team for you
Your contacts at TBF Ventures are your first sparring partners. We listen, understand your challenges and carefully assemble with precision from our network of over 400 experts the best team for your goals.
