Jochen Beutgen is the founding partner of identity.vc who simultaneously serves as CEO of a single family office, bringing a family-office investor mindset and long-term capital perspective directly into an early-stage LGBTQ+ focused VC platform rather than coming from a traditional institutional VC background. He positions himself as a Diversity Investor who combines his fintech founder experience with backing underrepresented founders, bridging operating company, family office, and thematic VC perspectives in one profile.

Notable Investments
Identity.vc is Europe's first venture capital fund with an explicit mandate that every portfolio company must have LGBTQ+ representation at founder or C-level, investing €200k-€500k in early-stage startups across Europe and select North American markets. The fund operates with a "no warm intro" policy and runs community infrastructure including the League of Unicorns network for LGBTQ+ founders, positioning LGBTQ+ identity as their core investment lens rather than a side diversity initiative.
