BLN Capital

BLN Capital is a Berlin-based investment firm established in 2021 by Daniel Stammler, Janosch Kühn, and Oliver Löffler. The firm operates in both venture capital direct investments and diversified fund investments, focusing on partnerships with aspiring companies in the venture capital and private equity space. They leverage their extensive experience in technology and gaming to foster successful relationships with their partners.

The founders, Daniel Stammler, Janosch Kühn, and Oliver Löffler, previously co-founded Kolibri Games in 2016. Kolibri Games, known for its hit 'Idle Miner Tycoon,' grew significantly before the founders sold a majority stake to Ubisoft in January 2020.

For direct investments, BLN Capital focuses on early-stage, innovative, and disruptive companies, primarily in technology and gaming sectors across Europe and the United States. These seed and pre-seed investments typically range from €50,000 to €500,000. The firm aims to invest in up to 15 promising ventures annually, providing support in areas such as app economics, performance marketing, and growth. Their portfolio includes notable direct investments such as FANtium, Kittl, Epic Games, Jodel, and Robinhood.

In addition to direct investments, BLN Capital engages in diversified fund investments in private equity and venture capital, as well as selected liquid funds globally. Individual commitments for fund investments range from €200,000 to €2 million, with annual commitments reaching up to €10 million across first-time funds, emerging managers, and well-established funds.
