Situated in Aachen, Germany, TVF has a primary focus on the Rhineland area and neighboring regions of the Netherlands and Belgium but remains open to investing across the whole country for start-ups that strongly align with their thesis. The fund is dedicated to investing in B2B technology-driven companies that have the capability to disrupt or enable significant industries, leveraging technology to tackle pressing challenges and improve working and living conditions.

Their investment portfolio typically includes ventures in SaaS/software, IoT, digital solutions, medtech, biotech, new materials, and greentech/cleantech. TVF seeks out startups with a robust technological core, a competitive edge, and the ability to cater to substantial consumer needs.

With a strategy that centers on early involvement, TVF primarily targets (Pre-)Seed and Series A stages, offering an initial investment range between €500k and €2 million, and can invest up to a maximum amount of €6 million. Additionally, the fund prides itself on its ecosystem player role, with a strong regional presence and a network deeply rooted in the local economy.

Through the S-UBG Group, startups have exclusive access to an established network of over 150 SMEs. TVF's insights aim to help startups find product-market fit and go-to-market strategies, ultimately leading to market dominance.
