New fund from Angermayer

The German investor has raised more money than originally expected. The fund is intended to invest in start-ups and companies. The phase they are in is irrelevant.

Christian Angermayer's new fund has raised 350 million US dollars in just a few weeks, compared to the original target of 250 million US dollars. The money is to be used for investments in 40 portfolio companies, regardless of the phase of the start-up.

From the seed round to the company shortly before the IPO, everything can be included; the valuations of Angermayer's investor network are decisive. In recent years, Angermayer has particularly focused on biotech and deep tech, and he is also a passionate investor in the space sector.

According to a report by TechCrunch, one of the largest investors in Presight Fund Two is Angermayer himself. He is said to have invested around 60 million US dollars in the investment fund, which is already the second of its kind. According to TechCrunch , other well-known investors have also joined in, including the former CFO of Goldman Sachs, Martin Chavez, and the actress Uma Thurman.

The first Presight fund he set up was already oversubscribed according to his own information and raised a high double-digit million amount. Both funds are invested with his venture capital arm Presight Capital. According to Fabian Hansen, who set up the first fund together with Angermayer, the calculated return is 350 percent.
