Managing Partner

Capnamic Ventures focuses on fast-growing companies in the early stages of business. We invest in seed, series A and later stages. We finance businesses whose product development is to a large extent completed and already show a positive market response through existing customer relationships. We prefer companies that are already successfully established in the market, but which lack the capital to achieve further growth potential. Our philosophy is based on the principle that the better we know the market and the entrepreneur, the sooner we invest. In which industries and markets do we invest? We like rapidly-growing, dynamic markets. Whenever there are technological novelties or situations of radical change in the market, enormous potential for growth unfolds for the entrepreneur. Your company with its offered products or services should be consumer- or prosumer-based and part of the digital value chain. Among others, we invest in technology sectors such as mobile, e-commerce, gaming, payment, advertising or software-as-a-service. What criteria are important to us? The founders are particularly important to us. We offer a lot to the founders we work with and in return expect a lot from them. Therefore, we are looking for outstanding individuals with talent, perseverance and know-how who want to build up a company that quickly becomes the market leader in its field and operates internationally. Moreover, your business model has to be scalable and should allow for rapid growth once being equipped with sufficient capital.
