Expedite Ventures

What Expedite Ventures does

Expedite Ventures GmbH is a Berlin-based business angel group structured as a private limited company under German law, operating as "The CTO Angel Network." Founded by Thomas Witt and Benjamin Kubota, the firm aggregates eight CTO and CPO angels — Audrey Tsang, Ben Kubota, Florian Forstmann, Paul Hofmann, Ramzi Rizk, Sara Brodin, Sebastian Deutsch, and Thomas Witt — who deploy personal capital alongside hands-on technical mentoring into pre-seed and seed-stage tech founders. Investments range from $50k to $300k per company at valuations typically up to $10M pre-money, using both SAFE-style convertibles and direct equity, with occasional Series A follow-on. Each portfolio company is paired with a Lead Angel delivering up to 10 hours monthly of mentoring across code reviews, architecture, roadmap, hiring, and pricing, supplemented by the broader angel pool for specialized expertise. There are no management fees; returns accrue solely via equity outcomes.

The firm's go-to-market is founder-driven inbound: founders review a publicly published Playbook, submit PDF decks via a dedicated "Pitch us" channel, and are evaluated through calls with angels followed by unanimous voting. Distribution is global in claim (Europe, US, worldwide), with brand presence on LinkedIn, X, the company blog, and Crunchbase, supplemented by community events for non-pitch-ready founders. The portfolio spans approximately 13 active companies (Acreom, Agree, Beat81, Dunbar, GAIA, Kittl, Saleor, Serverpod, Superlist, Supernova, Widgetbook, YGO Trips, ZukunftMoor) and 17+ historical or exited investments (9elements, Clue, EyeEm, Gorillas, honu.ai, Infopark, Lakera, Mobius Labs, Moviepilot, mypharmacy, myToys, Pitch, Scrivito, softr, sudor, Vaayu), with stated emphasis on underrepresented founders including female and immigrant entrepreneurs. The firm itself does not build software; its technology footprint is the operating playbook, trademark registrations in the EU and US, and portfolio-level AI exposure through Kittl's generative design features and YGO Trips' NLP-based trip planning.
