Revenue model

1. Equity Investment Returns: Returns on equity investments in early-stage Industrial Tech and Climate startups through minority shareholding positions. TK-Solutions participates in initial funding rounds and follow-on rounds, seeking sustainable growth rather than quick exits.
2. Debt Financing Interest: Interest income from purpose-specific repayment loans for inventory, product, and equipment pre-financing provided to companies with existing revenue and secured customer orders. Loans bridge financing gaps where traditional banks do not support.
