We deal at the forefront of innovation
ABOUT US

We want to be at the forefront of change when it happens and take part in shaping our future

When we founded Prediction Capital we asked ourselves: What could the world look like in the future with all the challenges and opportunities ahead of us? And what can we as investors and entrepreneurs do to co-create a future that holds a better livelihood for all of us?

That’s when we found that we want to be more than purely financial investors but rather partners to the promising founders and ventures that we are actively backing. We believe that the time is now to invest in innovative ventures and are excited to take part in shaping our future, together!

INVESTMENT FOCUS

We are focusing our investment activity on early-stage startups within the DACH region 

Within that focus, we are concentrating on trends and themes within the ConsumerTech and FinTech industries which we believe to last even beyond our fund’s maturity period. Finally, we are doubling-down on investments with a positive long-term effect on selected ESG criteria and the UN’s sustainable development goals.

Pre-Seed

Enabling founders to unfold their full potential

We support different types of founders beginning from the early days of founding their business with our expertise and network. Our common objective is to elevate talented & passionate founders while serving as an entrepreneurial sparring partner and providing the opportunity for them to exchange with seasoned industry experts, likeminded founders and established businesses.

We love to partner with founders who have strong academic and professional backgrounds as well as the entrepreneurial drive to realize ideas that might seem impossible at first.

Seed

Supporting founders with critical decision-making

We engage in Seed investments where the founding team has developed an innovative business model that is determined to change the future of a specific industry. Within that stage, we provide substantial support in developing a clear product-market fit, go-to-market strategy and supporting with the creation and prioritzation of growth and profitability initiatives.

Our main focus is to partner with founders that are able to build a sound operating model based on solid business foundations rather than purely looking for a straight-forward growth opportunity. By providing our expertise in building, scaling and optimizing businesses from different stages we actively take part in shaping the operating model and building these strong foundations.

DACH

Deploying investments locally

The DACH region provides a great ecosystem for successful founders mainly driven by great (technical) universities and already successful unicorns which have become new founder breeding grounds. Following the muted investor sentiment in 2022 due to capital markets’ uncertain developments, it has become more challenging for founders to raise capital. While others are standing still and observing how this development unfolds, we believe that the current macro-environment poses a great investment opportunity for deploying capital anticyclically at attractive valuations.

ConsumerTech

Elevating consumer experiences to the next level

The ConsumerTech industry and consumer behaviour have been changing tremendously since 2020, mainly driven by events such as COVID-19 and macro-economic developments (e.g., inflation and supply chain crisis). As a consequence, we are now faced with more open-minded consumers when it comes to innovations that are requiring a certain tech affinity and that are fulfilling consumer needs with respect to an increased comfort, efficiency or flexibility. Therefore, we are excited to partner with founders that are able to capitalize on this new environment with great ideas and customer-centric approach.

FinTech

Innovating at the forefront of technology

Since 2018, investment in FinTech has skyrocketed, bolstered by several major FinTech deals that were characterized by their size and geographic diversity. In 2021, venture capital investment in FinTech was strong despite global uncertainty with investment from VC sources totalling a record USD 115 billion. Despite the recent drop in more developed FinTech enterprises’ valuations, we see a great opportunity to support emerging FinTech players to build more solid businesses with lessons learned from their predecessors.

ESG and the UN’s SDGs

Investing where it matters most

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership.

We are concerned with putting a focus to invest in businesses which share and embrace a positive effect on these SDGs. In particular, we are trying to positvely influence the following SDGs with our investment strategy: Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Reduced Inequalities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and Partnerships for the Goals.
