About Jan Sessenhausen

Jan Sessenhausen at Cusp Capital invests with a software-first mindset even in hardware-heavy categories, arguing that hardware startups should be software companies at heart with hardware as just a shell around recurring software and data value. He brings an unusual IT and consulting background from SapientNitro, Capgemini, and Hewlett-Packard before becoming a VC, which is rare for German early-stage GPs and shapes his hands-on, product-and-architecture-aware approach to enterprise software investing.

Cusp Capital operates both as a direct early-stage VC and as a dedicated fund-of-funds investor backing regional and sector-specialist European seed funds, which is unusual for a relatively small, thesis-driven VC platform. The firm explicitly targets digital products tailored to lower-income consumers and workers as a core investment thesis, framing this as a trillion-euro opportunity and putting inclusive, lower-income customer segments at the center of its strategy rather than treating them as an impact side-effect.
