We're moved by ideas, and the people who believe in them passionately.
But first, the facts: Founded in 1997, we have invested in more than 70companies, with impressive returns. With € 430m from more than 20 institutional investors currently under management, we are among the most successful venture capital firms in Europe.
We are proud of this track record. Yet these figures tell you very little about the relationships that have grown in all these years. With investors, advisors and, above all, our entrepreneurs. Connecting with gifted people is the heart of our work. We are very much aware of the human factor in our financial achievements. It keeps us sufficiently humble to fully appreciate every new investor who puts faith in us. It keeps us hungry enough to constantly search for new talents with promising business ideas.
