Why does Igor Beuker invest in startups?

I invest in startups to back founders riding trends I have already mapped years ahead of the crowd. After 5 exits of my own, including 3 to WPP, I bring pattern recognition most check-writers lack. I favor companies creating positive change while building durable value: 24 social startups so far, and 100% of my speaking fees go there. I invest in the trends I forecast, which is why a wrong call costs me before it costs you. I do not back decks. I back founders who see the wave before the market does.
