b2venture is an early-stage European venture capital firm that invests primarily at the pre-seed and seed stage, with the ability to follow on through later stages via its Direct Investments track. The firm backs 'the unique, the mavericks, the outliers' — outstanding European entrepreneurs building scalable, defensible technologies and digital business models. What distinguishes b2venture is its unparalleled community of angel investors: the firm has pioneered a model that pools individual investments from a network of 250+ experienced entrepreneurs and operators alongside its institutional funds, providing portfolio companies with capital, expertise, and hands-on support from seed to IPO. With over 25 years of investing history, ~€800M AUM, and offices in Berlin, Munich, St. Gallen, and Luxembourg, b2venture takes an industry-agnostic approach across AI/ML, SaaS, fintech, healthtech, climate, deep tech, and more. The firm's mission is to 'pay it forward to the next generation,' creating a virtuous circle where successful portfolio founders become the next generation of angel investors and mentors within the community.
Notable quotes
“b2venture was our seed-investor at the very beginning and we have profited enormously from our exchange and their support over the years as we have grown.”
“The team at b2venture has been with us since the very beginning of our journey back in 2012 and has continued to support us in our latest round in 2022. The firm's ability to mobilize its business angel community to invest in our company at the later stages is an incredible value-add for us. I would always work with them again.”
“We cannot imagine a better partner than b2venture and rely on the power of their angel community to not only provide 1KOMMA5 with funding, but also expertise to help us grow at the ambitious pace we need to in order to tackle climate change.”
