Combination VC

Combination VC is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Hamburg, Germany, that adopts an angel-like approach to support ambitious product-focused founders. The firm distinguishes itself by leveraging a diverse collective of successful founders, key personnel from established companies, celebrities, influencers, and experienced investors, believing that this knowledge transfer provides an unbeatable advantage for its portfolio companies.

The firm focuses on early-stage investments, specifically Pre-Seed, Seed, and Pre-Series A rounds, with initial investments ranging from EUR 50,000 to EUR 200,000, and a commitment to follow on in subsequent funding rounds. While sector and market agnostic, Combination VC primarily targets software and "software-enabled" consumer and business cases within the DACH region and broader Europe. The day-to-day operations of the venture capital firm are organized by Marius and Johannes.

Combination VC's portfolio showcases a wide array of innovative companies across various sectors. Notable investments include Knowunity, an education network, Peec AI, which enhances brand visibility in AI chats, and KLEKT, a fashion marketplace. Other significant portfolio companies span areas such as AI-driven productivity (Workflow, Cognee, Octomind), legal technology (Platus, Jupus), health tech (Noah Labs, Lora, Eaze), food and beverage (LAP Coffee, Freda, XOXO, Onibar, Circus, Ahead, LevlUp), climate tech (Planted, Yook, Neos), logistics (Zekju), and cloud technology (Helio Exchange).

Founded in 2019, the firm is operated by Wow Yes Ventures GmbH, with Johannes Sass and Marius Obiegala identified as Founding Partners. Their collective expertise and hands-on approach aim to help founders scale their businesses and become future market leaders.
