Smart money for smart people. We are the VC fund for startups from seed to growth phase.
To be clear: we focus on sustainable growth, strong teams and
entrepreneurial substance.
From day 1, we put emphasis on strengthening the founding team, because the sustainable success of a startup depends on more than just financing rounds.
That’s why our strategy is to contribute our profound expertise as well as our first-class network in order to help tech companies succeed.
Pre-Seed
Financing for the first 12 months for startups in the founding phase – this is where the “Startup Gladiator” program by bmp Ventures comes in – with funding of up to €500,000.
Seed
To improve team, product, marketing and sales structures as well as to accelerate the build-up of traction and KPIs. The investments range between €1–3 million.
Series A
Investments are typically between €2–5 million. The focus is on scaling the company.
Growth
With up to €15 million per investment, we can support startups into the expansion phase and participate in growth financings.
In addition to innovative ideas and scalable business models, we invest primarily in people with entrepreneurial spirit.
In many cases, we are the first institutional investor in our portfolio companies. With our investment and hands-on investment management, we support the achievement of ambitious company goals while ensuring financing for at least 18 months. In doing so, we invest alone as lead investor or together with co-investors from our extensive network.
Typically, we invest not only once, but over several financing rounds and, if the company is growing accordingly, we do so several times. We thus enable companies to grow sustainably over time.
