About
Rainer Märkle is a General Partner at HV Capital, a European venture firm where he has spent most of his career. Originally trained as an engineer, he moved into venture capital after about three years, holding two other VC roles—including a position at 3i—before joining HV. Early in his time at HV he backed Zalando, which the firm took from seed through IPO, a deal he describes as the firm's biggest venture achievement. He also worked on early investments in HelloFresh, where HV was the first institutional investor, and Scalable Capital, a Munich-based wealth management and brokerage company. He focuses primarily on early-stage investing while also supporting select growth-stage companies, and he was part of HV Capital's generational leadership transition.
