Direct peers

• HV Capital: Cologne-based pan-European VC investing across stages; led Flinn.ai's $20M Series A alongside SquareOne. Comparable as a DACH-rooted, multi-stage tech investor with shared portfolio exposure.
• 42CAP: Munich-based pre-seed and seed VC specialized in B2B SaaS. Direct peer given identical stage, B2B focus, and DACH footprint.
• UVC Partners: Munich-based early-stage VC focused on B2B tech and industrial Deep Tech in the DACH region. Highly comparable on stage, sector emphasis, and regional positioning.
• Earlybird Venture Capital: Berlin-based early-stage VC investing across European technology sectors including B2B SaaS and Deep Tech. Closest direct peer given shared geography, stage focus, and DACH-centric strategy.
• Speedinvest: Vienna-based early-stage VC with a strong B2B tech and Deep Tech focus, also co-invested with SquareOne in Flinn.ai. Highly comparable on stage, sector focus, and DACH/CEE geography.
