New Investment Committee for "OVO Certified: Investing for Change" Label

Published: 02/05/2024

OVO is pleased to announce the formation of an independent Investment Committee responsible for evaluating companies and investments against the criteria for the "OVO Certified: Investing for Change" label. This label indicates that a company and its growth project meet the minimum requirements in terms of viability, sustainability, legal compliance, risk management, sustainability goals, and impact.

 

Only projects with this label are presented to business angels for their final evaluation and potential investment. Lorsqu'un projet obtient des engagements de la part de business angels, il devient éligible au Fonds d'accélération OVO, qui fournit 50 % supplémentaires des fonds nécessaires après l'identification des business angels.

 

If you are interested in being informed about the projects that receive this label, please contact karen@ovo.be.

 

To ensure independent and professional decision-making, the team includes members with various expertise and background, and volunteers who have known OVO for some time, as well as people with experience as investors, and experts from the diaspora.

These are the team members: Chris Gossye, Thierry Duquenne, Eniola Harrison, Raf Somers, Sjoerd Komen, Tino Chibebe, Tonny Vanderhoven.

 

We look forward to the valuable contributions of the Investment Committee in supporting our mission of enabling investments for positive change.
