b-to-v Partners, also referred to as b2venture, is a European venture capital firm based in Saint Gallen, Switzerland, which focuses on investing in companies operating within the digital and industrial technology sectors. The firm has a pronounced preference for startups that are headquartered in Europe. They have honed an investment thesis that revolves around backing unique, maverick, and outlier companies at their earliest stages - including the seed and pre-seed phases - all the way to IPO. They often engage with companies in the Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A financing rounds with ticket sizes ranging from EUR 250,000 to EUR 5,000,000. They claim to infuse additional capital in subsequent financing rounds when they deem it fit. Their average investment size is typically around EUR 1,000,000. b2venture provides their portfolio companies with more than just financial backing, as they offer valuable guidance, expertise, and support to navigate the inevitable challenges of growing a startup. Their commitment is rooted in a partnership model that's built on trust and a shared vision for a prospective future. They proudly assert their position as one of the most experienced venture investors in Europe, underpinned by a robust community of angel investors whom they actively involve in their investment process. This collaboration with Europe's premier angel community is positioned as a cornerstone of their investment approach. Together with these angels, they offer a broad spectrum of entrepreneurial experience and hands-on service that uniquely benefits their portfolio companies. The industries they invest in include Software, IT & TMT, Education, Business Solutions, Retail & E-commerce, AI & Big Data, Food & Beverage, Insurance & InsurTech, Logistics & Distribution, SaaS, Healthcare & Wellness, and Investment Management. Aside from their home base, they have offices in Berlin, Munich, Luxembourg, and Zurich, mainly covering the German-speaking region (DACH), but they also consider investments outside Europe if they have a trusted, local lead investor. The firm prides itself on its ability to support innovative ideas and startups, especially those that can benefit from the input of their extensive angel investor network.
