b2venture (fka btov Partners) has been backing outstanding European Startups in non-obvious technological areas since 2000. The unfair advantage is the unique combination of dedicated Fund teams and Europe´s strongest Network of Entrepreneurial Private Investors. As a partner of the Fund team, I was responsible for investments in Wine in Black (acq. by VIVA eCom), Beekeeper, BUX, Comtravo (acq. by Navan), Joblift, Websitebutler (acq. by dogado), Raisin, Ottonova, Foodspring (acq. by Mars), Sharpist, Flytrex, Zeitgold (acq. by Deel), Layer, gitti, JOIN, Finway, Forget.Finance and Edurino. I joined btov in 2013 as an Analyst, became a Partner by 2017 and a General Partner in 2020. After 10 years, I left my full-time Partner role and continue to support b2venture and my portfolio companies as a Venture Partner.
