Our investment
philosophy.
Focus on founders.

"Venture Stars is a great partner in every respect. We especially appreciate the mindset of the Venture Stars team. Whenever you need it, they are there to help and advise. You can just tell that they have been in the founders' shoes for years themselves.”

“Venture Stars was our first institutional investor and co-led our seed round in 2019. With their entrepreneurial mindset having been entrepreneurs themselves and thus, having a very close contact to their portfolio companies, their support in scaling Finoa has been and continues to be crucial for us as founders.”

“Venture Stars really stands out as hands-on investor who has already been in your shoes. So naturally they are your first call when you are looking for advice for any entrepreneurial challenge you might be facing."

“Within just a few months, the Venture Stars Team has shown amazing hands-on and proactive support for Freshflow in many areas, from sales strategy, hiring talent to fundraising. Due to their deep experience building successful companies themselves, they're able to give advice based on real-life lessons, which is invaluable."

“Venture Stars has supported us since the idea stage even before our foundation and have participated meaningfully in each of Holidu’s financing rounds. Across all stages they have been a great and trusted partner who helped us with the small and big questions that came up. They share the entrepreneurial mindset and when speaking to them it’s clear that they have already seen many situations as founders themselves. They are always fast and responsive and a partner we absolutely wanted to have on our side during our journey - as persons and as a fund.”

„Venture Stars was believing in us and our vision for revolutionizing a huge market from the very first step – in fact even before the foundation of our company. Being entrepreneurs themselves, they are pro-active, work closely with us and know well, what we as founders need in every step of our growth journey. We are grateful for the support and mentorship in finding the right setup, avoiding mistakes, sparking ideas and for their valuable connections to other founders and the Venture Stars network.”

"Venture Stars is the ideal choice for us to successfully develop Otark. We deliberately chose Venture Stars as our partner because their entrepreneurial understanding and active support are a perfect fit for us as a founding team and for Otark. They share our entrepreneurial vision and values and help us to realise our vision of future energy trading with their in-depth expertise and hands-on mentality."

“The partnership with Venture Stars is simply amazing! Besides their sharp entrepreneurial thinking and energetic support in every situation, they trusted us even before their first investment and supported us significantly in the preparation of our seed financing round. Without them, we would not be where we are today.”

„Venture Stars was instrumental in helping us secure our Series A - we would not be where we are today without them. Their deep understanding of the pet food market, its key drivers and players was critical in supporting our round. Post closing, the Venture Stars team are always available to advise and support - great to have them on board."

„Building a company is always a rollercoaster, there­fore it is one of the most important decisions to have the right investors on board - ones that understand the entrepreneurial challenges and support you all the way.
Venture Stars is outstanding, giving valuable super-fast advice, always long-term oriented and fun to work with – try to get them as investors.“
