FAQ

The honest answers.

  • Do I have to take an investment to get coaching?

    No. We coach a small number of non-portfolio founders each quarter - depending on stage and fit.

  • Do I have to take coaching/mentoring/advisory to get funding?

    Nope. Yet we limit our direct investments for 2026. After 17 tickets between Q1 2021 and Q1 2026, for the rest of the season we are leveraging our expertise and focusing on serving rather than investing.

  • What Pointguard brings to the table?

    An unequaled, versatile and customized, humble service with the aim to empower you and make you win. Brutal truths, no bullshit. In-depth knowledge from the trenches as investor, operator, board, entrepreneur & more, yet anchored in lifelong learning.

  • Why SEE/CEE as a focus?

    This is where we have value. This is where we win. This is where we dedicated 5 years of our activity. This is where we know and love the culture, the players. the markets. A booming place. And with a strong basketball taste, in the south.

Still on the fence?

Take your time. Ask around. Work.

Worst case: You can walk alone and thrive. Best case: you find a trusted partner.
