Ding is a global VC firm focusing on the ICT industry. We take pride in investing in the projects that other people deem too risky. We know that uncertainty is a core element of innovation. Through this entrepreneurial strategy we aim to disrupt the disruptors.
Ding Capital grew from the passion and hard work that the startup world is all about. We know that with the right mindset any industry can be disrupted. However, much of the positive energy in the startup world is hampered by investors who think inside the box. We know that innovation requires serendipity and that a great idea can not be measured in calculations on an excel sheets. This revolutionary realisation is what defines Ding.
We know what it takes to be a winner. A truly disruptive idea can not be measured by today's yardstick. Conventional VC firms often dismiss the winners of tomorrow. At Ding we see radical and unconventional thinking as a strength. We know that it’s when everyone says no that you need to keep on going. It’s when others do not want to invest that DING stands tall.
At DING we know to stay ahead of the market. Already today we are investing in the industries of tomorrow. Where others rely on insight we choose to trust foresight. Under the current five year plan we are building our portfolio in five areas: IoT, AI, Offline 2 Online, Synthetic Biology and Cloud Computing. These are the areas that will change the world.
As much as an investment is about a service or a technology, it is about the people. At DING we are looking for winners. Many people today call themselves entrepreneurs, but we know that this is not for everyone. We know that true entrepreneurship is based on sacrifice and blind conviction. A true entrepreneur always puts himself and his company first. An investment by Ding means the opportunity to work with the best of the best. Together we build a team of winners.
The most interesting companies are often those that no one wants to invest in. It is hard to understand a leader. At DING we know this and take pride in making the investments that noone else wants.Oliver Nilsson, Founding Partner
