TechVision Fund II closes with over 50 million euros

The TechVision Fund II (TVF II) has reached its final closing and now has a fund volume of over 50 million euros. The fund, which is managed by TVF Management GmbH, is thus ready to continue investing in fast-growing early-stage tech start-ups. In particular, the Rhineland/NRW region and the Euregio Meuse-Rhine are in focus.

New investors on board

In addition to existing investors such as NRW.BANK, Sparkasse Aachen and other savings banks from the region, new institutional and private investors have also joined the fund. Among them:

• Helaba (Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen)
• Serial founders such as Erich Borsch (Aixigo)
• Jürgen & Leo May (JM Holding)
• Alexander Stoffers (Modell Aachen)
• Dr. Reik Winkel & Dr. Christian Augustin (indurad)

We are not just financiers, but see ourselves as strategic partners at eye level. With the closing, we are excellently positioned to enable further DeepTech successes from the region.
