First investor in Europe’s most ambitious founders | GP at Antler

Munich, Bavaria, Germany

About

Building something new? Annoying everyone around you with it? Knee-deep in the mud? Good. That's exactly who I'm looking for. General Partner at Antler in Continental Europe. We back the most ambitious founders from inception. Up to €500k at Pre-Seed, and typically as the first investor on your cap table. 100+ investments at inception stage. Years as a McKinsey Partner advising tech companies on strategy and M&A. I've seen what separates the builders who win from the ones who don't - and it rarely comes down to the idea. If you're an engineer, builder, scientist, or operator who's just going all-in (again) - let's talk. If you are interested to learn more about how we work with our investors, reach out to me directly. → antler.co/continental-europe

Experience

  • General Partner at Antler
    Aug 2020 - Present · 5 yrs 11 mos

    We invest in ~0.2% of our dealflow and are backers of outlier companies around the world such as Airalo, Pixverse (both Asia), Lovable, Peec AI, Netbird or Voltrac (all in Europe). We are a long-term partner to our portfolio, investing from inception to Series C, partnering for long-term growth with support from offices across 6 continents. As founding GP for Continental Europe, I back founders across Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Zurich, Paris, Madrid, Warsaw, Milan and beyond. I invest both in hardware and software, in B2B and B2C (as well as B2G, B2B2C, ...) across sectors including AI, cybersecurity, deep-tech, dual-use, defence, resilience, health, fintech and others. The sector matters less than the founder. I aim to partner with the strongest and most driven founders as they start their next company.
