About This Fund
Capnamic Ventures Bremen Fund I is a €30 million early-stage venture capital fund managed by Capnamic, one of Germany's leading pre-seed to Series A investors. Launched in 2024, the fund was created as a dedicated regional investment vehicle to channel institutional and private capital into high-growth startups based in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. The fund was co-anchored by two public-sector institutions: Bremer Aufbau-Bank (BAB), the state development bank, and Sparkasse Bremen, the region's major savings bank, supplemented by a group of nine prominent local entrepreneurs who also committed capital.
The fund targets up to 15 startups operating in Bremen's strategic industries, including aerospace and space technology, logistics and supply chain innovation, nutrition and food technology, and artificial intelligence. Investment sizes are calibrated for pre-seed and seed rounds, with follow-on capacity through Series A. Capnamic brings its established investment process and network from its main fund platform to the Bremen vehicle, giving local founders access to a team with deep experience in backing category-defining German-speaking technology companies.
The fund operates with a ten-year term and is supported by the broader Capnamic ecosystem, which includes offices in Cologne, Berlin, and Munich, as well as a portfolio of over 100 companies since the firm's inception. Bremen Fund I is part of Capnamic's Specialty Funds initiative, which pairs regional institutional capital with the firm's venture expertise to strengthen startup ecosystems in underserved German cities and regions.
