We accelerate growth

We help young technology companies achieve swift and sustained growth. With assets under management of EUR 275 million we have the means to do so.

We are your partner


We support entrepreneurial vision with our know-how, but without intervening in daily business operations. Thanks to our long-standing experience in venture capital and in building companies, we discern potentials and open up new perspectives. We have the substance, tenacity and creativity required to mutually manage difficult situations successfully.

We are professional and steady

Due to our independence we are flexible, pragmatic, and able to act swiftly. All our decisions focus on increasing the value of our portfolio companies – always taking a long-term perspective bereft of any short-term opportunism.

We collaborate with strong partners

We only invest together with private investors. And focus primarily on shared values and quality standards.

OUR FOCUS

Innovations with high potential

We are looking for young tech companies with innovative products or services and above-average growth potential.

Successful implementers

Our focus is on the start-up and early growth phase. We appreciate initial successes, such as the sales and key accounts developed or successful product launches.

Excellent teams

We like creative and effective entrepreneurs who build on highly motivated and outstanding teams that share a vision.

In geographical proximity

We only finance companies with their headquarters in Germany. We are of the conviction that we can provide support and added value best if close at hand.

All sectors welcome

We invest in all technological sectors (with the exception of those defined according to EIB´s principles and standards as “EIB excluded activities”).

With private co-investors

We only invest together with private investors who commit at least the same sums to the financing rounds – and on the same terms and conditions. We like to co-invest with national as well as international partners.

Up to EUR 15 million in several rounds

Per company we invest up to EUR 15 million, usually in several financing rounds of EUR 0.5-8 million each. We are flexible and can commit smaller or larger sums in any development phase as required.
