Clemens Baumgart is a German-born investor at Harmony Partners whose background includes early hands-on roles at Rocket Internet and Project A Ventures in Europe, a stint as a paid soccer player in high school, and an academic path spanning WHU, the University of Michigan Ross School, and Peking University, along with fluency in German, English, French, Chinese, and Latin. At Harmony, he's known for leading the firm's first investment in space through Capella Space and for working his way up within the firm since joining in 2016, rather than arriving with an already-established name in venture capital.
About their Fund
Harmony Partners is a boutique venture fund that intentionally keeps its funds small—turning away demand to close Fund II at $85M and Fund III at $105M—while using a separate $30M co-investment vehicle to still reach larger deals, and it's led by Mark Lotke (previously at General Atlantic, Internet Capital Group, and FTV Capital) and Clemens Baumgart (with experience at Rocket Internet, Project A, McKinsey, and Jefferies). The firm leads expansion-stage rounds for founders, often building infrastructure for scaling companies in software and security, sometimes entering through secondary deals like its role in Axonius, and its portfolio includes outcomes such as Klaviyo, UiPath, Squarespace, Spotify, and Anaplan, along with acquisitions like Postmates, Randori, Split, and Axonify.
