Investment thesis

Point Nine is a thesis-driven early-stage venture capital firm based in Berlin, investing globally in AI for the digital, physical, and biological world. As a small equal partnership of four partners — each working closely with only 6–8 companies at a time — the firm invests $1–10 million per company, typically as the first institutional investor at the seed or pre-seed stage, working alongside exceptional founders to accelerate their learning, provide unfair shortcuts, and help them realize their potential. Historically focused on B2B SaaS and digital marketplaces, Point Nine looks for companies that can build a 10x better product or drive a paradigm shift, targeting markets large enough to support $100M+ ARR businesses. The firm is geo-agnostic across Europe and North America, with 17 portfolio companies having surpassed $100M ARR and 24 'Power Law' outcomes including Zendesk, Revolut, Delivery Hero, Algolia, Typeform, Loom, and Clio.

Notable quotes

Investing in seed stage companies comes naturally to me. I'm really drawn to the entrepreneurial phase of a company's development — the time when products are being built. The later stages tend to be more about the financial side of things.
