expertcloud
Novus Ventures is the third-largest shareholder in the virtual call centre expertcloud, and provides particularly active support in the field of marketing.

We draw huge benefit from Maik Emmermann’s existing network in the telecommunications and media sector. I hold Maik in high esteem – both personally and in terms of his commitment to the achievement of business success. Our cooperation is partnership-based and goal-oriented.

Novus Ventures is responsible for expanding the German and European business of multi-platform publisher Paperlit. This includes not only office selection and employee recruitment, but also active involvement in the definition of the company’s roadmap.
Its strong network enables Novus Ventures to arrange meetings with large German publishers as well as small and medium-sized publishing houses. The support provided by Novus Ventures in all areas of its partner’s business is key to the consolidation of Paperlit’s success.
LovetheSign
As a shareholder in Italian design website LovetheSign Novus Ventures takes an active role in the internationalization of the company. This includes the implementation of an internationalization strategy in cooperation with the website’s founders.
The strategy was drawn up within the framework of a co-investment strategy agreed between the company and the venture capital fund operated by Italian investment company United Ventures.
Its close partnership with United Ventures puts Novus Ventures in an ideal position to provide strategic and operational guidance during market expansion projects, in particular those involving Italian firms expanding into Germany and vice versa.
