Investment Thesis

Motu Ventures positions itself as an active partner to seed-stage deep tech companies, providing more than capital. They emphasize entrepreneurial guidance, network access, and coaching leveraging their team’s tech, operating, and legal expertise to maximize success during critical early phases. Their investment approach is rooted in hands-on support and deep domain knowledge from their founders’ operating backgrounds.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Team of experienced operators turned investors with entrepreneurial heritage and technical expertise
  • Berlin-based positioning with deep connections in European tech community
  • Dual expertise: one partner (Michael Schmitt) with Google Engineering Director background focused on technology; other partner (Philipp Semmer) handling business, legal and administrative affairs
  • Active partnership model going beyond typical venture capital involvement
  • Specific focus on European deep tech rather than broad-based investing
