Berlin-based venture capitalist Cavalry Ventures has launched its third fund. The venture capital boutique intends to invest 160 million euros in technology start-ups. The new fund, named Cavalry III, "builds on previous successes and continues the work of identifying high-growth digital companies in their early stages," says Rouven Dresselhaus, Managing Partner at Cavalry Ventures.

The 16-strong team focuses on just twelve investments per year and aims to reduce risks in this way. Over the next five years, 160 million euros will flow into selected start-ups. "Our approach is designed to intensively accompany and support young companies in the first two to three years," says Claude Ritter, Managing Partner at Cavalry Ventures.

The tech investor predicts three promising areas for the third fund: Cloud servers, sustainable business through the use of software and B2C technologies.

Cavalry Ventures was founded in Berlin in 2016. The venture capitalist is managed by Rouven Dresselhaus, Claude Ritter and Stefan Walter. Cavalry has already supported more than 50 companies, including Bryter, Clarisights, Forto, McMakler, Rekki and Planradar.
