Deeptech without progress is nonsense
Our definition of Progress is anchored on three pillars: Wisdom, Excellence, and Resilience

Aiming to comply with
SDGs and ESGs current criteria

Bringing
IHCPR (IRON HANDS CAPITAL Progress Rating) standards to ensure the use of the most disruptive technologies of all time

Sharing 10% of our profits with the next Deeptech generations

Aiming to
pass on to the next-generation breakthrough solutions that will shape the 21st century and fix critical situations

Designing a bright future, including the best standards and creating our owns to ensure the use of technology, then share 10% of our profits

Shaping a future
worth living and being
excited about with the Progress Principle
Bridging the gap
between deep-tech
potential and marketable, real-world applications
Monitoring our criteria
at every stage of
investing to ensure reliability
Before Investment: screening, assessment, and survey
We conduct screening and analysis of prospective investments to identify any material violations of Iron Hands Capital's prohibited investments. In addition, once the new investment opportunity has been validated, we conduct specific ESGs, SDGs, and IHCPR (Iron Hands Capital Progress Rating) diligence.
During ownership: engaging team management and monitoring
We monitor 100% of the criteria within our portfolio by setting realistic expectations for our companies through an action plan reviewed at the board level.
At Exit: demonstrating Progress performance with accurate KPIs
We work closely with team management to prepare them to answer ESG and Progress related questions from potential buyers. We make sure KPIs are available and reliable.
Aiming to comply with best standards to face European Taxonomy and Sustainability requirements
We are currently targeting ESGs initiatives to be involved in (ongoing). We also use the standard of SDGs. However, these standards are not sufficient in terms of deeptech investment
Why are current standards not sufficient for Deeptech?
We strive to provide our investors with customized solutions and opportunities that meet their investment and strategic objectives and are ideally suited to their situation for optimized returns
We created IHCPR (Iron Hands Capital Progress Rating) to face Deeptech non-determinism
Technologies are inherently non-deterministic, meaning they have no inherent knowledge of what is good or bad. Today, the regulatory framework primarily concerns finance (ESGs) and sustainability (SDGs)
Critical evaluation can be inconsistent as technology moves faster than regulation. We have created IHCPR, a standard we wish to spread
3 pillars of IHCPR that must be addressed without compromise
Our technology solutions must address one fundamental idea of Wisdom and one of the two critical ideas of Excellence and Resilience and are rigorously tested on this theme during our investment process
Wisdom
To create without destroying and to conquer all with respect for humanity and the earth
Decarbonization
Conservation
Sustainability
Happy Sobriety
Fair Consumption
Peace

Support education and research to feed the next generation of projects
We aim to partner with schools, universities, and research institutions to fund cutting-edge research and nurture new education programs and methodologies. We also encourage projects that will create inceptions of the next growth drivers of Deeptech.

As we have said, success without progress is nonsense. Therefore, we seek to improve soft sciences' presence and benefits. We plan to bring both financial support for research and real Deeptech subject as a sandbox.
