About Maximilian Ochs

Maximilian Ochs brings an unusual combination of a PhD in physics focused on nanotechnology and optics to venture capital, where he uses his research background to evaluate deep-tech feasibility across multiple domains including compute, techbio, aerospace, and energy at the pre-seed stage. Beyond investing, he co-leads Telura, an internal incubation project at First Momentum Ventures focused on ultra-deep geothermal energy, making him one of the rare VCs who simultaneously builds frontier technology in-house rather than only backing external teams.

First Momentum Ventures is run by former student entrepreneurs who built one of Germany's largest student entrepreneurship organizations, giving them deep connections to university tech ecosystems that they use to find extremely technical PhD-founded teams and research-origin projects at the idea stage. The fund positions itself as engineers at heart who run unusually detailed technical diligence themselves rather than using external advisors, focusing exclusively on pre-seed technical B2B and deep tech across Europe before helping companies raise from top-tier European seed funds.
