How we invest

We lead. Members choose.

Hasta contributes €100,000 to €600,000 per deal to European pre-seed and seed technology companies. This is Hasta's contribution, not the total company round. Selected members co-invest one company at a time. When the company, diligence and investors are ready, the best-case path from first call to funded can take a couple of weeks.

Process

Meet → test → lead → close → help

Clear work.
Clear decisions.

  1. Meet

    An early call establishes the hard problem, the evidence, the round and whether Hasta can be useful.

  2. Test

    Focused diligence tests the technology, market, team, production path, supply chain and terms.

  3. Lead

    Hasta forms a view, shapes the investment case and leads the round.

  4. Choose

    Selected members review the opportunity privately and decide whether to co-invest.

  5. Form

    Participating investors complete onboarding and required checks, then commit through a bare trust for that company.

  6. Close

    Cleared funds go to the company in one investment under one agreement. A nominee holds the shares on the members' behalf.

  7. Help

    Capital is the start. Hasta and relevant members stay useful through know-how, contacts and practical work.

Deal structure

Many investors.
One line.

Members do not enter the cap table one by one. Participating members hold their investment through a bare trust: a nominee holds the shares on their behalf, and each member remains the beneficial owner of their share. The nominee makes one investment using the instrument agreed for the round, typically shares or a future right to shares.

Choose

Members see the company, memo and terms privately. Each decides whether to take part.

Commit

Participating members complete the required checks and commit through a bare trust for that company.

Invest

Once funds and final documents are ready, one investment goes to the company and a nominee holds the shares on the members' behalf.

For the company

One investment agreement.
One entry on the cap table.
One coordinated group behind it.

Best-case path

A couple
of weeks.

First call → focused diligence → member commitments → checks and documents → money in.

Timing depends on the company being ready, fast access to diligence materials, member decisions, required checks, final documents and bank transfers.

Why deal by deal

Members see the company before committing and choose each opportunity individually. Founders get one coordinated investment and a group assembled around the actual work.

The trade is that capital must be assembled for every company. Hasta accepts that discipline because transparency, choice and alignment are worth it.
