Speedinvest

Speedinvest is a Vienna-based venture capital firm founded in 2011, which has grown from a €10 million micro-fund into one of Europe's most active and highly regarded early-stage investors. With over €1 billion in assets under management and more than 40 investment professionals operating across offices in Berlin, London, Munich, Paris and Vienna, the firm backs technology founders from pre-seed through to growth stage with long-term conviction.

The firm is organised around six dedicated sector-focused investment teams covering Deep Tech, Fintech, Health & Biotech, Marketplaces & Consumer, Climate & Industrial Tech, and SaaS & Infrastructure. This vertical structure allows Speedinvest to bring genuine domain expertise and deep networks to each portfolio company from day one. In addition to capital, founders gain access to Speedinvest's Platform+ team — in-house operational experts who provide hands-on support across growth marketing, people and HR, business development and international expansion.

Speedinvest has invested in over 600 companies to date, with more than 60% of its European seed investments reaching Series A, placing it among the most active seed investors in European unicorns. Its portfolio includes Bitpanda, GoStudent, Billie, Yokoy and TWAICE. The firm raised its fourth flagship fund at €350 million, backed by institutional investors including the European Investment Fund, Aviva, Generali and PwC Germany, and continues to expand its global reach across Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia.
