Cherry Ventures is a pan-European seed fund run entirely by former founders and operators from hyper-scaling tech companies like Zalando, requiring all investment team members to have entrepreneurial experience and positioning itself as "founders backing founders." The firm provides seed-stage companies with typically late-stage support infrastructure including dedicated global recruitment and in-house communications teams, while maintaining a track record as the first institutional investor in major European tech companies like Auto1 Group, FlixBus, and Flink.
