Investment thesis
IBB Ventures invests in Berlin startups across three focus areas: technology built on a strong digital backbone (Healthcare, Industrial Tech, Software & IT), consumer-focused Creative ventures spanning Consumer Tech, D2C and brands with global scaling potential, and Impact ventures tackling social and environmental challenges. The firm also runs a dedicated pre-seed fast lane for Berlin's DeepTech founders, providing first checks to early-stage teams with a bias to action.
