TS Ventures

What is TS Ventures?

TS Ventures is an angel network based in Cologne, Germany, with a dedicated focus on early-stage investments, specifically Seed and Series A rounds. They aim to partner with exceptional entrepreneurs, offering guidance and financial backing to startups with high growth potential in distinctive sectors.

Their investment criterion centers around SaaS, AdTech, Marketplace, and startups that create a positive climate impact. They deliberately steer clear of investment opportunities in Blockchain, Hardware, Food, Fintech, and Consumer Products, differentiating their portfolio by capitalizing on what they believe to be impactful and sustainable sectors.

TS Ventures' investment range extends from a minimum of €50,000 to a maximum of €600,000, with a sweet spot of €200,000 for each engagement.

This approach positions them as strategic angel investors providing substantial early financial support to nascent companies during critical developmental stages. The firm was co-founded by Tim Schumacher, who, having sold Sedo.com, is recognized for his entrepreneurial and investment successes.

He brings extensive experience to the table, serving in various capacities including Chairman of the Board at Eyeo, co-founder of SaaS.Group, and a partner at the World Fund. Stephan Jacquemot, another key member of the team, boasts a strong background in fostering entrepreneurship.

His extensive career includes leading startup units at Microsoft in Germany and Europe, co-founding the Microsoft Accelerator in Berlin, and holding a portfolio of 25 angel investments. At TS Ventures, they leverage this wealth of expertise to support startups wholeheartedly and are always looking to connect with innovative ventures that align with their investment thesis.

Potential investees are encouraged to submit their startup details via a form on their website for consideration.
