Launched in 2011 as a €10 million fund, Speedinvest now has over €1 billion assets under management and offices in Berlin, London, Munich, Paris, and Vienna. Recently, the fund started а new €3 million fund of funds.
- The round also saw participation from co-investors Peak, Angel Invest, the Atomico Angel Fund, and platform expert Sameer Singh.
