It doesn't have to be that hard.

Impress us with your business idea. It can be big, it can be small. As long as it has a customer base, market potential and it includes opportunities from the digital perspective.

We will invest in your business and make sure others do too. Getting financing can hog a founder's time. Time that should be spent on creating value for the customer.

We will minimize the fuss with bureaucracy and legal paperwork. We don't give you deadlines for expected final breakthrough or product launch.

Polte is a hands-on seed investor operated by Reaktor. You set the rules and you decide. Always. You know your business best. We contribute our expertise for your business and transform it into successful growth enterprise.

That's it, really.

Long live honesty, hard work and partnership.

Thumbs up for every burning idea and for blazing contrasts that make us stronger and force us to come up with better solutions. We salute practical intelligence that has finally stepped down from the ivory tower, and fearless 'getting things done' attitude that lives, screams and breathes from every new beginning.

Cheers for appreciating failures, for endless curiosity and experimentation that eventually leads to great achievements. May the sparks fly together with new ideas. Chin chin for individualism, learning new things and doing things the way you believe they should be done, for existing personalities and for opinionated people.

Hooray for quality, simplicity and straightforwardness in interaction between people and technology. Whoopee for entrepreneurship, courage and chasing your dreams, for creative crash courses, brainstorms, interaction and frenzy of growing a business.

With all this in our hearts we have been working hard and delivered success to our clients for the past 12 years. Hundreds of successful deliveries later we have become damn good in what we do. Let us help you in making your business fly too.

Long live honesty, hard work and partnership.
