Investment thesis

Speedinvest is a pan-European early-stage venture capital firm investing in pre-seed, seed, and growth-stage technology companies across Europe and beyond. The firm's mission is to "turn bold ideas into category-defining companies that drive global innovation — together," committing not just capital but the full power of its team and global network — including customers, talent, top-tier follow-on investors, and industry leaders — from day one. Speedinvest operates eight specialized sector teams (AI & Infra, Climate Tech & Industrial Tech, Deep Tech, Fintech & DeFi, Health & Bio, Marketplaces & Consumer, Growth, and Middle East, Africa & Beyond), each backing just 4–6 new companies per year and leading 85% of initial rounds to ensure deep partnership and conviction. Initial checks range from €250K to €5M at the early stage, with growth-stage follow-ons from €5M to €30M.

Notable quotes

We built Speedinvest around the belief that seed-stage founders require much more than just capital; as an early-stage investor, you need to earn the trust of your founders by adding true, immediate value for the business – that is our ambition.

Oliver Holle · EU-Startups interview · 2020-08

As a founder, I have been challenged, laughed at, celebrated and ignored. As an investor, I try to be helpful, honest and always – ALWAYS – respect the founder.

Oliver Holle · Speedinvest team page

I love connecting entrepreneurs to the knowledge, people, and capital they need to succeed.
