About

Rumford Partners is an investment holding company of two multi-entrepreneurs that finances, develops and advises start-ups and ventures. The bundling of activities enables members of the Rumford family to obtain company-wide services such as accounting, administration, IT, corporate and legal advice while simultaneously creating synergies. Rumford Partners is committed to supporting, advising and funding young people with promising visions and ideas. We differ from conventional venture capitalists because we pay attention to our start-ups right from the start, are not exit-driven and our founders participate appropriately. This enables us to keep our companies above average for a long time and to achieve excellent results in the event of a takeover.
