Investing Responsibly

We are the ideal partner for all investors with a focus on technology who want to get involved in early-stage start-ups in the German market. Our track record proves this: since 2005, we have financed more than 700 high-tech companies. In addition to the resources of our own four funds, with a volume around 1.4 billion euros, about 5 billion euros in external capital have flowed into over 2,000 follow-up financing rounds to date. We support our portfolio companies from their early stages to their exit. We have now successfully sold or floated more than 170 investments, including IPOs.

As one of the leading seed investors in Europe, we are in contact with all relevant players in the venture capital scene and work successfully with domestic and foreign investors throughout all investment phases. Over the past 18 years, we have not only become thoroughly acquainted with the market and its players, but have also continuously optimized our processes so that private and foreign investors in particular are happy to draw on our experience and accessing our constantly growing and well-established network.

Joint investments

We invest in high-tech start-ups in their early stages. We do this independently, but preferably together with other partners – business angels, private investors or VCs. In this way, we not only achieve higher financing volume, but also bundle our respective expertise. Our portfolio companies hence benefit twice over.
