Speedinvest launches second $70.8M fund aimed at specialist marketplaces and consumer startups
Pan-European early-stage VC Speedinvest has reached the final close for its second fund aimed at specialist marketplaces and consumer startups. Aside from institutional LPs, the €60m / $70.8M fund was also backed by marketplace founders and executives including those from Ankorstore, Vinted, TradingView, Planetly, and others. Jörg Gerbig, COO of JustEatTakeAway and co-founder of Lieferando, also participated.
Four investments have been made from the fund so far including freight and logistics B2B marketplace Yolda, which announced a $1.9m seed round in June.
It’s also invested in Byrd’s €16m Series B, digital coaching platform CoachHub’s €30m Series B and TIER Mobility’s $60M.
Mathias Ockenfels, General Partner leading the Marketplaces and Consumer team, said: “Themes we are focusing on in this fund are plentiful, and include everything from B2B to B2C marketplaces as well as the sharing, subscription and circular economies.”
Speedinvest has raised over €100M dedicated towards marketplaces and platforms across two generations of the fund, since 2017.
