In our first episode of European VC deep dives we chatted at length with Creandum.
In this occasion, our guests on the podKast are Dr. Florian Heinemann and Philipp Werner, General Partner and Partner, respectively, at Project A.
Founded in 2012, Project A is a leading early-stage VC firm investing all over Europe with offices in Berlin and London. The firm has more than €1b in AUM and is currently investing out of its 4th fund (€300m).
Project A is quite unique in Europe for various reasons. It defines itself as “the operational VC” because of the background of its founders and a big part of its partner team, but also because of the in-house platform of team of more than 100 full-time hands-on experts. Florian and Philipp will explain how the model works and how these experts collaborate with their portfolio companies.
We also chatted about their recently announced “Studio”, a pre-seed program to partner with entrepreneurs at the pre-idea stake, as well as the following topics:
- Their 4 core areas of interest: inancial technology, climate & energy, resilience and global supply chains
- How they’re organized internally and how they make investment decisions
- How the founding partners make sure that Project A exists for many years
Hope you enjoy it!
