What Conny & Co does

Conny & Co. AG is a privately-held international investment company founded in 2019 by Dr. Cornelius Boersch, Alexander Hornung, and Philip Behrends, headquartered in Wollerau, Switzerland with the operating legal entity domiciled in Germany. The firm co-invests alongside Dr. Cornelius Boersch — a European Investment Fund-accredited Super Angel with 25+ years of experience, 350+ investments, 70+ trade sales, and 15+ IPOs — into promising startup companies across Europe and the fastest-growing emerging markets (LATAM, Southern Europe, Greater China, Southeast Asia, India, Japan). It does not operate a technology product; its offering is patient venture capital bundled with three explicit support layers (internal team, shareholder network, global network), and investors receive deal-by-deal co-investment rights. The portfolio spans 19+ named companies across FinTech, InsurTech, Real Estate, EdTech, Food & Beverage, Consumer, and Hospitality (e.g., Lingoda, Flash Coffee, Rent24, Simplesurance, Guestready, Exasol).

The firm generates returns primarily through equity appreciation and exits (trade sales and IPOs) rather than through a recurring product revenue stream; a Luxembourg fund vehicle was established in 2022 to broaden institutional capital access. The core team of nine investment and operations professionals — drawn from Mountain Partners, Roland Berger, Morgan Stanley, Partners Group, Linklaters, Skadden, and Novartis — covers deal sourcing across EMEA, Americas, Greater China, and emerging Asia, with formal regional coverage for LATAM/Southern Europe and the Americas/Greater China. The firm markets primarily through its website (connyandco.com) and LinkedIn, and its distribution relies on the personal network and reputation of Dr. Boersch rather than a traditional field-sales motion. Strategic alliances include a long-standing EIF co-financing relationship and a mutual operating connection with Mountain Partners AG, founded by the same principal.

Broad incumbents

• Speedinvest: Speedinvest is a European early-stage venture fund with broad sector coverage. While it is a multi-stage institutional fund rather than an angel co-invest platform, it competes for the same European early-stage deal flow that Conny & Co targets.
• Earlybird Venture Capital: Earlybird is a long-standing European early-stage VC with technology focus. It serves as a broader incumbent alternative for European founders and competes with Conny & Co's deal flow in the region.
• HV Capital: HV Capital (formerly Holtzbrinck Ventures) is a leading German/European early- and growth-stage VC. It overlaps with Conny & Co's DACH-rooted network and target geography as a more institutional capital provider.

Direct peers

• AngelList: AngelList is a co-investment and syndication platform that aggregates investors alongside lead angels and VCs, mirroring Conny & Co's co-investment-rights model. Both businesses route capital from a pool of LPs into curated startup deals led by an experienced angel or fund manager.
• Republic: Republic (formerly AngelList Spin-off/SeedInvest) provides retail and accredited investors access to private startup investments with co-investment features. It is comparable to Conny & Co in routing third-party capital into curated angel-led deals.
• Mountain Partners AG: Mountain Partners AG is the founder-affiliated investment firm of Dr. Cornelius Boersch, sharing team members (Philip Behrends, Christine Schmitz-Riol) and investment activity with Conny & Co. It is the closest comparable because it operates the same Super Angel-led model and often co-invests alongside Conny & Co.
• OurCrowd: OurCrowd is an online co-investment platform that lets individual and institutional investors back curated venture deals alongside lead investors. It is comparable to Conny & Co's model of offering co-investment rights to its investor base.
• Wenvest Capital: Wenvest Capital is an angel co-investment vehicle that aggregates a network of business angels in Europe to co-invest alongside experienced lead angels. The model parallels Conny & Co's structure of pooling investors behind a Super Angel.

Regional players

• Creandum: Creandum is a Nordic early-stage VC, comparable in stage and check size but operating primarily in the Nordics rather than the broader European/emerging-market footprint of Conny & Co.

Others

• European Investment Fund (EIF): The EIF is a co-financing partner of Conny & Co via the Super Angel accreditation, not a competitor. It is included as an enabling counterparty whose participation underwrites the credibility and capacity of the platform.
