Our Co-Investors
In 2015 we launched the incubator of Germany's largest campus entrepreneurship association. There we supported startups that subsequently raised more than 500M Euro incl. multiple exits. At First Momentum Ventures, we follow this path and invest with a deeply entrepreneurial “From Founders to Founders” mindset.
The bright minds behind the startups in our portfolio are all focused on unlocking their next level and face similar challenges along the way. From technical debt and tradeoffs in engineering to enduring enterprise sales cycles, our founders are happy to share their learnings.
Throughout the years, we have built a network of more than 100 industry leaders and executives from companies of all sizes. Whether to fuel your Go-to-Market or to get experienced mentors on board, we are happy to connect you with the right people at the right time.
More than 150 First Momentum Venture Scouts are located all over the DACH region. They are our extended arm into regional networks. Apply here if you want to become one, too.
Whether you're a PhD candidate, postdoc, faculty member, or an early career researcher, if you're dreaming about starting your own spinoff, or already on the entrepreneurial adventure, this is the place for you.
In order to reduce friction for founders in their pre-seed fundraising efforts, we streamline the communication with more than 120 Business Angels from our network.
As soon as the next financing round is coming up, we open our digital rolodex and provide access to all relevant VCs in DACH and beyond.
