Who we are
SIVentures is a young, dynamic venture capital fund with an office in the heart of Leipzig's city centre. We focus on early-stage B2B software startups and typically invest from €400k upwards in sectors such as energy, IT infrastructure, AI applications etc.
Our founding team of three brings extensive international expertise in finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, and venture capital. Beyond capital, we provide startups with access to mentoring, technology and our international network of successful founders, industry leaders, and top investors.
What to expect
As SIVentures is a startup itself, you can look forward to a flexible, entrepreneurial environment with plenty of room to take ownership. Structures are still developing, so you’ll need to bring a proactive, hands-on mentality and the drive to work independently.
