Incharge Capital Partners

What Incharge Capital Partners does

Incharge Capital Partners GmbH is a Hamburg, Germany-based venture capital firm structured as a joint venture between Porsche SE and Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners (DTCP), founded in 2024. The firm invests in deep tech companies operating at the intersection of Physical AI and New Space infrastructure, targeting founders building autonomous systems, robotics platforms, AI-native sensing, and space launch and communications. Its stated differentiation rests on OEM-grade technical diligence performed through an anchor network spanning the Volkswagen Group, Deutsche Telekom, and Porsche, combined with operator experience from unicorns (Pipedrive, SumUp) and senior institutional investment experience from Porsche SE's investment management platform.

The firm makes equity investments through direct relationships with founders; its disclosed portfolio of six companies includes Waabi (autonomous vehicles), Bedrock Robotics (autonomous construction), ACCURE Battery Intelligence (AI battery analytics), Stoke Space (reusable launch), CesiumAstro (satellite communications), and Cephia (AI computational imaging). The most recent transactions on record are a $16M lead investment in ACCURE's Series B (February 2025) and a co-led $4M seed in Cephia (October 2025). The business is run by Partners Michael Schrezenmaier (ex-Co-CEO Pipedrive, ex-CEO Europe SumUp) and Aleksej Mitrjaschkin (12 years at Porsche SE), supported by a Vice President from DTCP and an Analyst.

As a venture capital firm, Incharge generates revenue through conventional fund economics: management fees on committed or invested capital and carried interest on fund returns. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined deal-by-deal at the portfolio level. The firm has 1-10 employees, is registered as a private limited company under HRB 184747 at Amtsgericht Hamburg, and its principal marketing channel is LinkedIn.
