Heilemann Ventures

What is Heilemann Ventures?

Heilemann Ventures is a venture capital firm focused on seed-stage investments in digital startups. Since its launch in 2011 after the trade sale of DailyDeal to Google, founders and brothers Fabian and Ferry Heilemann have steered the Berlin-based firm to involve itself heavily in the early growth stages of innovative companies.

The team, composed of six professionals, leverages their digital entrepreneurial backgrounds and expertise in various domains such as company building, strategy, sales, marketing, business intelligence, finance, venture capital fundraising, and mergers and acquisitions to provide more than just funding to their portfolio companies.

Geographically, their primary focus remains the DACH region, but they also selectively invest in European and US East Coast ventures. The firm is recognized for investments primarily in the following sectors: SaaS, Marketplaces, FinTech, AdTech, Consumer Health, Logistics, and IoT. With a typical ticket size in the low to middle six-digit EUR range, Heilemann Ventures positions itself firmly in the seed-stage funding ecosystem and touts a diversified digital seed portfolio.

The firm prides itself on contributing significantly to the growth of its portfolio companies by actively providing smart capital and leveraging an extensive network in the European startup and investor landscape. The investment team is comprised of successful entrepreneurs like the Heilemann brothers, along with well-connected investment bankers.

Throughout the firm’s history, their work and milestones have been covered extensively in the press, and their strategic investments support independent entrepreneurs who demonstrate complementary team capabilities.

With a clear promise of operational support, strategic networking, and collaborative synergies within their portfolio, Heilemann Ventures stands as a prominent partner for digital entrepreneurs embarking on their growth journeys, with minimum investments starting at 1,100,000 and a maximum cap of 25,000,000.
