We are your long term partner
We partner with companies at the Seed and pre-Series A Stages. Besides our capital, the main value is our experience, active support and collaboration with the founders. Working closely together, we help visionaries build innovative tech companies that have the potential to make our world a better place.
After our investment, we work on a comprehensive roadmap for the next 12-24 months to prepare your Startup for a great Series A. We define the responsibilities of Freigeist and the Startup team and see if and how external partners can help effectively. Based on this approach, we only make 1-2 investments per year to offer full hands-on support.

What founders say about us
“Freigeist was the first VC to invest in our vision when most people still considered it science fiction. Alex helped us in the early stage of software development, and Marc became interim CFO for our Series B round. With their financial and entrepreneurial support, we’re able to make our vision of affordable, sustainable air mobility a reality.”
Daniel Wiegand
CEO Lilium
“I feel privileged to work with and learn from the Freigeist team. Ever since they joined us, we’ve improved significantly in many areas of our business – technology roadmap, sales, HR. It is incredibly important for a deep tech founder to have reliable and long-term visionary partners.”
Raycho Raychev
CEO Endurosat
“The team of Freigeist is not only a long-term partner of me, we have become friends over the years. They were the first investor and helped build up Wunderlist. Today we cooperate on new European technology ventures. Freigeist is a product- and technology-driven investor with a long-term vision.”
Christian Reber
CEO Pitch
“Freigeist has a hands-on mentality that we as a small team highly appreciate. They have not only invested their capital but also countless hours of their time and energy in finding the right partners. With their connections within the energy industry, we were able to greatly accelerate our mission of becoming an enabler for the energy transition.”
Martin Schichtel
CEO Kraftblock
“We went from a small ERP firm based in Augsburg to a Hidden Champion and potential market leader in just under 2 years with the ongoing support of the Freigeist team. They helped us get the right talent on board, create the next generation of our product, and secure funding from the best partners during our Series A led by Sequoia Capital.”
