Our Investment Strategy & Target Opportunities

As one of the leading venture capital firms, we invest in Seed and Series-A financing rounds at an early stage of the company and support our portfolio startups through various stages of development. In addition to capital, we support our portfolio companies with a media-for-equity program through which they can access the reach of established media brands such as Handelsblatt, Wirtschaftswoche, Tagesspiegel, DIE ZEIT and Apotheken Umschau. As an investor, we thus make an important contribution to visibility in the respective target groups and strengthen the brand development of our portfolio companies.

We also support founders with our network and the industry expertise of our fund investors, who are e.g. NOVENTI Health SE, Wort & Bild Verlag (publisher of e.g. Apotheken Umschau) and the Family Office of the pharmaceutical manufacturer Ursapharm.

We are interested in business models at the intersection of the healthcare market, digitization and technology. These can be patient-oriented applications, which are changed by the use of technology, as well as process-supporting applications for healthcare providers. Wherever wearables collect data and monitor medical therapies, we examine business models. We are also interested in startups that rely on pattern tracking and the individual creation of plans for prophylactic training or health-promoting nutrition. The same applies to apps or services that deal with the care or nursing of needy and chronically ill people or with any kind of health preventive measures.

We continue to be a technology investor and are looking for business models that will renew the healthcare system through digitization. In short, we are investing in the entire spectrum of Digital Health.

We are looking forward to pitch decks and business plans. Just drop an email to deals@dvhventures.de. If you have a scalable business with first traction, we should talk to each other. Fast.

As one of the first digital health funds in Germany, we are open to further investors in a second closing in the coming months.

Feel free to reach out if we could answer you any questions or provide infos on our digital health fund. Your are welcome to write us an e-mail to investor-relations@dvhventures.de or give us a call at +49 221 933 1610.
