Investing

The whole picture, first

We start with three good reasons not to invest in us. If those do not put you off, we would love to hear from you.

Start here

Three reasons to invest

Not softened, and none of them flip into a strength.

  1. Negative equity

    We built products and a platform before they paid for themselves, and the balance sheet says so. If a clean balance sheet is your baseline, stop here.

  2. No sales or marketing team

    Work arrives through referrals and reputation, not a pipeline. Real revenue, but slow and hard to forecast.

  3. A single founder

    Levi Van Zele carries the vision, the technical direction and most decisions. That keeps them fast and consistent, and it also means everything leans on one person.

Honest filter

The wrong company for a quick multiple

We would rather grow slower and ethically than hit a number that costs us being decent.

  • A fast exit or a quick multiple.
  • Growth at any cost, ethics included.
  • A bet you never think about again.
  • A predictable timeline and firm guarantees.

The other side

What is working

Real progress, and still a lot of ground to cover.

  • Products that are live

    We build and run our own products, not only client projects.

  • A platform we reuse

    Forge gives every project a proven head start, so a small team ships more.

  • Paying client work

    Consultancy and delivery bring in revenue today.

  • 84 people already backed us

    Individual investors, 500 to 10,000 euro each, through the Flemish Winwinlening and direct agreements.

Still unsure?

Put us to work first

Doubt is a good reason not to invest yet. Put us to work first, or just ask our advice: it teaches both of us more than any pitch.

See what we do Ask our advice

  • What you find out

    How we work, what we actually deliver, and whether we are worth believing in.

  • What we find out

    Whether you are someone we want to build with. That matters just as much.

Next step

How a conversation goes

  1. You get in touch

    Tell us what draws you here. No deck required.

  2. We talk openly

    Including the numbers we do not publish here.

  3. Only then, the details

    If it still fits both ways, we work out what involvement looks like.

FAQ

The awkward questions

Why is your equity negative?
We invested in products and a platform before they paid off. That is why we can build quickly now, and why the balance sheet looks the way it does.
What happens if something happens to the founder?
Short term, it would hurt badly. We reduce it by documenting decisions and keeping the platform understandable to other engineers. A risk we manage, not one we solved.
Is there revenue today?
Yes, from client work and delivery, next to our own products. We share the actual figures in a conversation.
Why not just hire salespeople?
A sales team you cannot yet pay for is a cost, not a solution. We would rather grow into it than staff up ahead of the revenue.
Are you raising right now?
We are always open to a conversation with the right people. No countdown, and no pretend urgency.
How much would I need to invest?
There is no minimum. Our investors range from a few hundred to ten thousand euro each.

Get in touch

Let's talk

If this sounds like something you want to be part of, we would like to hear from you. It tends to fit best with people who:

  • count in years, not quarters
  • care how the work gets done, not only what it returns
  • are comfortable pushing back honestly
  • bring more than money: perspective, or a network

This page is here to give you the complete picture of where Punfyre stands, risks included, not to sell you anything.

  • It is not an offer of securities and not investment advice.
  • It does not oblige you, or us, to anything.
  • It leads with the risks on purpose. Read those first.
  • Any real numbers are shared in a conversation, not published here.
