About

42CAP is a Munich-based venture capital firm specializing in seed-stage investments in technology-driven B2B software companies across Europe. Founded in 2016 by Thomas Wilke and Alex Meyer, both former founders of eCircle, one of Europe's largest SaaS companies, 42CAP leverages their extensive entrepreneurial experience to support startups with global ambitions. The firm's investment approach is rooted in their 'Entrepreneurs First' conviction, emphasizing a strong belief in technology- and data-driven sustainable business models and a genuine passion for entrepreneurship.

42CAP typically invests between €0.5 to €3 million in seed-stage companies, focusing on sectors such as AI & Machine Learning, Biotech, Enterprise & B2B, and SaaS. Their portfolio includes notable companies like Adverity, Kaia Health, Packlink, and Scoutbee. The team comprises experienced professionals, including General Partners Thomas Wilke, Alex Meyer, Moritz Zimmermann, and Julian von Fischer, who bring a wealth of expertise from their previous ventures.

42CAP's mission is to be the investors they wished they had back then as founders, contributing product and go-to-market experience to help scale B2B software companies through all stages and serving as sparring partners in developing the founders.
