We back deep-tech founders early.
As UnternehmerTUM’s pre-seed fund, we invest in exceptional early-stage B2B deep-tech start-ups within the Munich ecosystem.
We invest early - frequently as the first institutional investor - using a convertible loan note (CLA). As UnternehmerTUM’s early-stage funding, we back groundbreaking scientific technology, help founders move from lab to market.

Impact
We believe that start-ups play a crucial role in shaping the world we want to live in. As an investor, we're aware of the impact we have with the decisions we make. That's why we consider ESG criteria in our investment decisions.
Together with the sustainability consulting company akzente and its start-up accelerator TechFounders, UnternehmerTUM published the Sustainability Playbooks for start-ups and VCs. The playbooks provide guidelines and pragmatic tips to tackle sustainability in a targeted manner — an approach we apply to our work.
