IBB Ventures

IBB Ventures is a Berlin-based public venture capital investor founded in 1997. It backs ambitious Berlin-based founders from Pre-Seed to Series A across software and IT, industrial technologies, healthcare technology, digital and consumer technology, creative industries technology, and social and environmental ventures. The firm provides capital alongside investment expertise and access to a local Berlin network, and it holds positions as lead, co-lead or co-investor.

Check sizes are structured by stage. Pre-Seed investments typically run from €100,000 to €400,000. Seed and Series A investments typically run from €200,000 to €1 million. In addition, the firm reserves follow-on capital to support portfolio companies through growth phases and through more difficult periods - a distinction from investors that reserve little for subsequent rounds.

Since inception, IBB Ventures has funded more than 310 startups and deployed over €300 million across investments and rounds, with more than 80 successful exits. The funds are backed by Investitionsbank Berlin, the State of Berlin and the European Regional Development Fund, and sit within the IBB Group. Returns are reinvested into new funds with the stated aim of supporting Berlin's startup ecosystem.

The investment remit spans commercial technology and consumer-facing businesses as well as mission-driven ventures addressing social and environmental challenges. Geographic focus is Berlin, with a broader European footprint through the European Regional Development Fund backing.
