Investment Thesis

Mätch.vc is a founder‑friendly, early‑stage VC that aims to back ambitious teams as early as possible (pre‑MVP and pre‑revenue) and to let entrepreneurs focus on building rather than fundraising. They combine a focus on scalable B2B and deep‑tech opportunities with an operational, family‑business and founder network (70 LPs from Mittelstand, founders and industry veterans) to provide both capital (independent checks up to €1M, co‑investing in the Start‑up BW Pre‑Seed program) and hands‑on support. The fund documents an explicit sustainability / ESG framework (promoted characteristics and an exclusion list) and seeks long‑term capital appreciation through equity and quasi‑equity investments, with a strong regional focus on Baden‑Württemberg while investing across Europe.

Focus statement

Value Add

Strong operational LP network of ~70 family businesses, founders and industry leaders (Mittelstand like Trumpf, Mapal Dr. Kress, Bauder and founders/industry veterans) providing practical value beyond capital.
Active partnership with the Start‑up BW Pre‑Seed program: co‑invests in that program and keeps a 'simple and straightforward' standard deal aligned with L‑Bank terms.
Founder‑friendly willingness to invest before MVP/revenue—explicitly: they 'don’t need to wait for your MVP, initial revenue, or first customers.'
Speed and clarity in process: promise to respond quickly ('You'll hear from us within 3 weeks' / 'We review every application and get back to you within two weeks').
Clear sector prioritization and ranking (B2B software > B2G software > B2B hardware) and an explicit exclusion of B2C.
Formal ESG / SFDR approach: promotes defined environmental/social characteristics, enforces an exclusion list (weapons, tobacco, fracking, certain extractive industries, etc.), and monitors portfolio companies via an 'ESG & Impact Questionnaire'.
Ability to write independent checks up to €1M and follow through to Seed / Series A with a €48M fund focused on deep tech and industry use cases.
