The Golden Mouse is our venture capital fund investing in high-tech European start-ups
Value Partners’ accumulated experience with leading firms in technology-critical industries enabled us to promote the Golden Mouse fund in 2002. This fund has collected €15m from private and institutional investors, including the European Investment Fund (EIF), the Telecom Italia group and the Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna.
So far the Golden Mouse Partnership has invested about €7m in more than ten ventures, including:
Funambol
| UsableNet
| Ingenium Technology
Value Partners also manages a minority stake in Telbios, the consortium set up by Telespazio and San Raffaele Biomedical Science Park to offer remote-access medical services.
“Value Partners has always believed in innovation as a distinctive ingredient of success for any firm or country. With The Golden Mouse we’re backing companies in niche sectors which have an international outlook and real management ability – because we believe that to be successful any company, and especially any manufacturer, must be working for the world market, starting with the US which is still the prime market for the ICT industries."
