What Possible Ventures does

Possible Ventures is a Munich-based, privately held venture capital fund manager (Possible Ventures Verwaltungs GmbH; BaFin-registered AIFM via Possible Ventures Management GmbH) that backs pre-seed and seed-stage startups building frontier technology across four thematic missions — climate, energy, health, and society — and three technology pillars: deep tech, life sciences, and software platforms. The firm operates two regulated fund vehicles (Possible Ventures B I GmbH & Co. KG and Possible Ventures II GmbH & Co. KG), is restricted to German (semi-)professional investors and Australian wholesale clients, and maintains a 200+ investment portfolio spanning more than 20 countries with notable positions in Orbem (AI-powered MRI), Marvel Fusion (laser-driven fusion), The Exploration Company (orbital vehicles), Reverion (solid oxide fuel cells), HyperHeat (industrial electrification), Seeqc (quantum computing), tozero (battery recycling), Meatable (cultivated meat), Tetratherix (biostealth biomaterials), and Heidi (clinical AI).

The firm generates revenue through the standard venture capital model of management fees on committed/invested capital and carried interest on fund performance, with no third-party distribution or marketplace channels. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven: founders submit investment enquiries via the website across 12 sub-sectors (Climate Intelligence, Computational Healthcare, Decarbonisation, Energy Transition, New Compute, New Materials, Recycling, Robotics & Automation, Security & Resilience, Space, Sustainable Agriculture, TechBio), while LP capital is sourced from a 200+ LP base and a global co-investor network that includes General Catalyst, Atomico, Accel, Benchmark, EQT, Bessemer, Insight Partners, SoftBank, Sequoia/DST, Northzone, USV, General Atlantic, and others.

The investment team comprises four professionals — all former operators rather than career VCs: founder & general partner Chris Hitchen (previously built/sold Getprice, Next Commerce, and Hynt; venture partner at EQT Ventures, Project A, SquarePeg), partner Thyra Seitz (former EU-representation and innovation advisor), partner Dr. Christoph Baumeister (co-founded Avi Medical, nello, LOCUMI LABS), and senior associate Tim Linnenweber (co-founder/COO-CFO of CargoKite). The firm's competitive differentiation rests on this operator network, the curated community of 300+ established founders/angels/entrepreneurs who actively support portfolio teams, and deep co-investor relationships that enable high-quality follow-on rounds.
