VC Directory
30 venture capital firms headquartered in Germany. Browse investor profiles, investment stages, sector focus and check sizes.
Germany's venture market is concentrated in Berlin, with a second cluster in Munich and individual funds in Bonn, Essen and Hanover. It is the largest bench in continental Europe on this directory, and it is unusually specialised for its size: the country's strongest funds tend to be known for one thing rather than for being able to do anything.
Business software is the spine. Point Nine is the reference seed investor for B2B SaaS and marketplaces in Europe, Project A Ventures pairs seed cheques with in-house marketing and engineering teams, and Cherry Ventures and Earlybird Venture Capital run broader early-stage practices from Berlin. Global Founders Capital and Paua Ventures also work the pre-seed and seed end, and Target Global invests across European and Israeli companies from seed through growth.
The deep-tech and industrial side is where Germany differs from London or Paris. Fly Ventures and Lunar Ventures invest in machine learning, robotics and computational research at pre-seed and seed. La Famiglia connects startups to European industrial corporates. Foundamental concentrates on construction and the built environment. HTGF, the High-Tech Gruenderfonds, is the state-backed early investor in Bonn that appears on a large share of German cap tables. The corporate arms are serious participants rather than tourists: Airbus Ventures and Hitachi Ventures invest from Munich, CommerzVentures backs fintech and insurance technology, and Future Energy Ventures invests in energy and climate from Essen.
Climate has its own dedicated bench in AENU and Extantia Capital, gaming has BITKRAFT Ventures, crypto and token networks have 1kx, and consumer internet and marketplaces have Acton Capital in Munich. Maschmeyer Group covers fintech, insurance and digital health from Hanover.
Read this list by category rather than by city. Berlin is where most of these firms sit, but a Munich corporate arm with the right industrial relationships is worth more to a hardware company than a Berlin generalist with a better known name. Each profile carries stage focus, sector focus, check size where disclosed, and the partners who make decisions.

This directory profiles 30 venture capital firms headquartered in Germany, covering pre-seed and seed funds, Series A investors, growth-stage firms and corporate venture arms.
The right firm depends on your stage and sector rather than on fund size. Every profile on this page lists stage focus, sector focus and check size where the firm discloses it, so the practical approach is to filter to the stage you are raising and then read the sector focus and portfolio.
Not usually. Most firms headquartered in Germany invest across their wider region, and several invest globally. Being local still helps with warm introductions and with access to the firm's portfolio network.
