We named Altamira (meaning ‘aim high' in Spanish) after the famous cave that houses prehistoric paintings. For us, it is a symbol of the power and creativity of the human mind, reaching back millennia. As an equity investor and partner in company development, we cooperate with teams who demonstrate the ambition to achieve technological breakthroughs in their fields. We expect this to translate into significant revenue potential from international markets. We invest our money, time, competence, and contacts - and we only get involved where there is the potential for true partnership and cooperation with a company's founders. We are interested in modern technology that finds a practical use in physical – not virtual – reality, mostly employed for industrial production in the chemical, pharmaceutical, or medical device industries.
