«We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children»
This indigenous wisdom expresses what drives us: Together, we rethink today in order to create a tomorrow that will bring lasting joy to our children and grandchildren.
Principles that define us as a team, as a company and our actions
We always act with and for each other and support those who think the same way. Only together we can transform old economic patterns into new ones.
We are highly motivated to shape this world and our future for the common good. The goals of all business models supported by Mahalo are sustainable and philanthropic.
We support solutions that offer performance-oriented companies opportunities to operate more sustainably and save resources.
We are grateful. Grateful for what we are given today and grateful for what we as a community are able to do with it.
We think and act holistically. For this purpose, we bundle different experiences, diverse competencies and cross-industry expertise.
We invest our daily lives to create value and use our time and energy to improve the future for the sake of future generations.
In the past, some of us have faced the challenge of refused investments from the "old finacial world". Banks, as well as most investors who are still subject to old ways of thinking, demand returns that put pressure on founders and entrepreneurs. We do not demand, we create the basis for new, sustainable business models whose purpose is to help shape the future. We invest in people and ideas who share our principles and values.
This includes the support of our entire team, to develop a business model that best justifies and secures the investment. Liquidity has to be perceived as a liberation and accordingly release the energy that entrepreneurs are most likely to need at the time of the investment.
The proper strategy is crucial to focusing all available resources on the most important issues of our society in the future. This applies to entire national associations as well as individual companies. Here, clear strategic guidelines and implementable management are required.
We support you in the development of your future business model and ecosystem. Hereby we secure your contribution for a common and sustainable future.
Our network of like-minded people enables us and you to benefit from each other in order to continuously develop the new business models together to gradually replace outdated business models.
We do not have to comprehensively reinvent the world. We just need to put aside the competitive mindset and align our knowledge and competencies with each other and to each other. Together with our team, we bring people and companies together that will mutually benefit from each other. In doing so, best practice from various industries as well as innovations are shared with each other.
We invest in business models with the potential to positively influence our future in the long term. This includes mainly technology-oriented and innovative companies that are committed to solving currently prevailing, regional as well as global challenges. Companies that, through their actions, put the well-being of all those involved and, in the best case, of our entire society, in the foreground. For us as a community, the result plays a far greater role than the return on investment of individuals. Together we are prepared to accept the necessary risk. Crucial for us: We risk "existing money". We exclude business models that risk our environment or the well-being of humans and animals.
The capital provided comes from our fund and is subject to clearly defined requirements that ensure that funded companies operate exclusively in accordance with our vision and values. Furthermore, a special selection process ensures that our capital and capacities are used in the best possible way.
We are visionaries, entrepreneurs, experts from different disciplines, investors, pioneers & innovators, mentors, talents and networkers from all over the world. What unites us is our common heart and an essential principle that is expressed by our name and code of conduct:
Mahalo [Hawaiian = thanks, gratitude, admiration, praise, appreciation, respect, esteem]
Our headquarters are in Zurich. At home we are all over the world.
As an international and interdisciplinary team, we operate globally.
CEO
I grew up in a part of the world where I had all possibilities and, more importantly, I was free to choose: The freedom of choice - to learn what I want, to choose my religion, to travel where I want, to love who I want, and so much more. Creating this possibilities and the freedom of choice for as many people as possible while maintaining the balance of the world is what drives me.
