Mathias Ockenfels has built his career almost entirely around network effects and marketplace businesses, going as far as founding The Marketplace Conference and building out marketplace-focused teams at both Point Nine and Speedinvest, while also stepping away from investing for a period to work as an operator inside Uniplaces before returning to venture capital. He continues to develop his thinking on how marketplaces work, including how AI is changing what makes them defensible, and tends to back founders who take unconventional paths and are deeply focused on the problems they're trying to solve.

Notable Investments
b2venture is built around a community of more than 350 angel investors—many of them founders who exited companies b2venture backed and returned to invest and mentor—giving it a network-driven model instead of a typical fund structure, with roots tracing back to 2000 as an angel network before it launched a fund in 2007. It focuses on founders in the Swiss/Austrian/southern German innovation belt working on complex deeptech and industrial areas like robotics, manufacturing, and hardware, and it backs this up with an operator-heavy angel bench and a deliberate plan for younger partners to take over the firm over time.
