Saarbruecker 21, also known as SB21, is an investment collective of friends and internet/tech entrepreneurs who began collaborating in the early 2000s. They have a strong foundation in Saarbruecker Strasse 21 in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, where they initially connected through their successful business ventures. As a group with extensive entrepreneurial experience, including founding, selling, or taking companies public, they bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the investments they make. The SB21 team specializes in early-stage funding, focusing on Pre Seed, Seed, Series A, and Angel investments in the software industry which encompasses Web Marketplaces, Software as a Service (SaaS), among other areas in the digital and tech landscapes. As active business angels, they have been investing effectively since 2011. SB21 is more than an investment fund; they are deeply involved in the development of the companies they invest in, offering not only seed funding for what they consider 'killer-founders' and innovative ideas but also a hands-on approach to mentoring. Their support extends beyond financial backing. They draw on their collective experiences to steer startups away from common pitfalls, provide vital introductions, and impart practical advice and insights that transcend industry boundaries. Through this cross-pollination of ideas and strategies, they believe they can add significant value to the companies they work with. SB21 prides itself on its agility in decision making and its availability to founders in need of guidance, networking, or even just feedback on new ventures.
