PAPA OSCAR was founded in 2017 and is one of the leading e-commerce accelerators for lifestyle brands in Europe. We offer our portfolio companies not only financial, but also strategic and operational support, as well as access to an international network. To build a successful and sustainable lifestyle company, it is essential to have the right mix of marketing tools, a sustainable organisational structure, operational support and optimised processes. This is why we have developed a new venture capital approach: We combine capital and comprehensive operational support, offering our companies exclusive access to expert teams in marketing (online & offline), sales, business and product strategy, product development and IT. Our goal is to create value from day one - and not just with capital.
Who we are looking for
We invest in people, not products.
You, your team and your ambitions are our top priority. A great product and new innovation is little without a passionate, focused and tenacious entrepreneur. That's why we invest in people, not products.
Seed & Early Stage
We support creative projects that are in an early growth phase and help you expand your business and build sustainable brands. We are looking for innovative business ideas with ambitious founders.

Central and Southern Europe
In addition to the original investment focus on the German-speaking region, we have also been investing in founders and brands from the Southern European market since the opening of a further location in Barcelona.
