Notable Investments
Mätch VC is structured as a team of 91 family businesses and entrepreneurs from Germany's Mittelstand industrial companies, positioning itself as venture capital for the next generation Mittelstand rather than chasing only big-city hubs like Berlin. The fund explicitly prioritizes industrial hinterlands and non-obvious regions in Europe where industrial deep tech and B2B innovation sit close to factories and family businesses, using their LP network as early customers, validators, or design partners for highly technical infrastructure-level B2B companies.
