In this way, the venture capitalist aims to strengthen its position as a long-term partner for startups in all growth phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As before, the investor says that with the new Fund VIII, it is pursuing the strategy of leading early investment rounds for startups, typically Seed or Series A. The goal is to build long-term partnerships. The venture capitalist will continue to support these early-stage investments with follow-on financing, with up to \u20ac50 million available per startup. In addition, with the new fund, which is oversubscribed due to high investor interest, HV Capital also intends to make new investments in Series B or Series C rounds in companies already in the growth phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanded investment focus &amp; new brand name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;The core of our investment strategy remains to invest in the most promising digital startups at early stages, i.e., Seed and Series A, and then accompany them throughout their entire growth path. In addition, Fund VIII also enables us to make new investments in Series B and C rounds with investment amounts of \u20ac7 million to \u20ac25 million.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>explained <strong>Christian Saller<\/strong>, General Partner at HV Capital, the new opportunities the fund offers the VC. Saller will now be responsible for Growth Investment.<br><br>After twenty years on the market, the investor is also changing its company name. Founded in 2000 by the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group as a corporate VC, the investor has now operated independently for ten years. In addition to broadening its investment focus, the new brand name, HV Capital, is intended to emphasize this independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust from the scene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;The startup industry is different today than it was when HV was founded twenty years ago. We, too, have changed and steadily broadened our investment focus. The positive reception our engagement has received within the startup scene is further demonstrated by the fact that around 50 of the leading founders from the HV portfolio and network, including founders of Zalando, Flixbus, and Trivago, are supporting our new fund with a total of \u20ac20 million. The trust the scene is placing in us is naturally a boost.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>supplemented <strong>Rainer M\u00e4rkle<\/strong>, General Partner at HV Capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the investor, the companies financed by HV Capital over the past 20 years are now worth a total of around 75 billion euros. Recent investments in Munich-based startups include <a href=\"\/en\/64042\/everdrop-investment\/\">Seed financing in the eco-cleaning startup Everdrop<\/a> and a <a href=\"\/en\/65589\/investment-simpleclub\/\">two million euro investment in the Edtech startup Simpleclub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a new fund of \u20ac535 million, HV Capital (formerly HV Holtzbrinck Ventures) is supporting startups from Germany and Europe.
