Visionaries Club

Visionaries Club is a prominent Berlin-based venture capital firm with a distinct focus on early-stage B2B and FinTech companies across Europe and the US. Founded by Robert Lacher and Sebastian Pollok, the firm distinguishes itself through its unique Limited Partner (LP) base, comprising some of Europe's most successful digital founders and established family business entrepreneurs. This network provides portfolio companies with unparalleled strategic access, mentorship, and a deep understanding of scaling successful enterprises.

The firm operates two distinct funds to cater to different stages of company growth: the Founders Fund and the Growth Fund. The Founders Fund primarily targets seed and Series A investments, typically deploying initial checks ranging from €500,000 to €5 million. This translates to approximately $540,000 to $5.4 million, based on recent exchange rates. Their investment thesis centers on identifying disruptive technologies and business models within the enterprise software and financial technology sectors, aiming to support companies from their nascent stages through significant growth phases.

In March 2023, Visionaries Club successfully closed two new funds, raising a combined total of €400 million (approximately $432 million). This capital was evenly split, with €200 million allocated to the Founders Fund IV for early-stage investments and another €200 million for the Growth Fund II, dedicated to later-stage opportunities. This substantial capital base underscores their commitment to long-term partnerships and their capacity to follow on in successful portfolio companies. Their portfolio includes notable successes like Personio, Miro, and Choco, reflecting their ability to identify and nurture high-growth ventures.
