Investment thesis

TVF is an early-stage, B2B-focused VC investing primarily at Seed stage with occasional Series A entries into technology companies with a strong technology core and competitive edge. It targets sectors including SaaS/software, IoT, digital solutions, medtech, biotech, new materials, and greentech/cleantech. The firm prefers to lead rounds but is comfortable co-investing in consortia with other VCs and business angels. A defining principle is proximity: it invests mainly in teams reachable within roughly a two-hour radius, covering the Rhineland region of Germany plus neighbouring Netherlands and Belgium, with openness to the rest of Germany given strong fit. It emphasizes hands-on support, leveraging the S-UBG Group's network of 150+ SME companies.
