Unternehmertum Venture Capital Partners

Early-stage venture funding in Munich and Berlin

With offices in Munich and Berlin, Unternehmertum Venture Capital Partners (UVC Partners) is a venture investor. It backs business-to-business startups across Europe at their earliest stages, up to Series A, and says it works with founders for the long haul. The firm describes the founders it wants to back as bold, honest, inventive and non-conforming, people who build and experiment and who want to shape the future. It presents itself as wanting to be part of that future and says it stays with its companies well beyond the first cheque.
