Business angel since 2017 · Vienna
Capital and experience for B2B startups.
We invest in B2B SaaS companies at every stage and in selected real estate projects. We bring the most to the table when your customers are manufacturers: we know that world from building our own plastic injection moulding company and from POOL4TOOL, now JAGGAER.
Focus
Where we make the biggest difference
We invest in B2B SaaS companies and in real estate. We can contribute most when a startup's customers are manufacturing companies: we built a plastic injection moulding company that supplied the automotive supply industry, followed by POOL4TOOL, a SaaS company that was among the global market leaders in procurement software for manufacturers.
Core focus: customers in manufacturing
For example, with solutions for:
- Engineering and design: CAD, PLM, product development
- Procurement, supply chain and supplier management
- Production, assembly and shop floor
- Cost, costing and sustainability data
- Energy and operating costs in industry
Also
- B2B SaaS serving other customer groups, where we can add value in sales, strategy or the next funding round
- Selected, sustainable real estate projects
Not for us
- B2C products, consumer apps and marketplaces
- Models where we could contribute nothing but money
When we say no, we say it quickly and explain why. That serves both sides better than a polite process that goes nowhere.
What we bring
Capital alone doesn't build a great company.
We provide companies at every stage with the equity and support they need — and bring three things that reinforce each other.

Co-investment
Mostly on our own. Together when it counts.
In most of our investments so far we've come in alone — one decision, one point of contact, short lines. When a venture needs larger amounts, we bring in fellow business angels. That adds not just more capital to the round, but more experience and know-how.
-
The default
We invest alone. You talk to someone who can make the decision.
-
When it gets bigger
For larger amounts we bring in fellow business angels — people we've been connected with for years.
-
What it adds
Every additional angel brings more experience and know-how to the table, not just more money.
