30 Best Venture Capital Investors in Germany (in 2024)
The tech ecosystem in Germany has shown resilency in spite of the crisis. To celebrate that, we compiled a list of the top investors in Germany, showcasing those who've demonstrated exceptional acumen, vision, and commitment to fostering innovation in the region.
This list is the result of tracking investment activity across +2,500 venture capital investors in Europe, and only includes funds that have invested in at least 5 startups in Germany in the past 12 months (not just investors with offices in Germany). Whether you're a budding entrepreneur seeking the right funding partner, an investor looking for co-investment opportunities, or simply curious about the financial powerhouses investing in Germany, this list provides invaluable insights into the region.
Last update to the database: May 26, 2024. See changelog.
Investor Rankings are calculated using our Seedtable score – a 1 to 100 score that uses quantitative and qualitative data points (like the size of their fund or the quality of the companies they invested in) to signal the strength behind an investor. A score closer to 100 indicates an investor is worth watching closely.
