Angel investors Berlin founders can explore include backers across SaaS, fintech, climate tech and deep tech, with typical first checks of EUR 25,000 to EUR 100,000. Your best prospects depend on your stage, sector and the evidence you can present about your business.
What do angel investors in Berlin typically fund?
Berlin’s angel landscape includes interest in SaaS, fintech, climate tech and deep tech. Individual investors may also focus on areas such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, biotech, payments, enterprise, consumer and retail. These categories can help you begin a search, but they do not establish that every investor in a sector is a fit for your company.
Typical first checks from Berlin angels are described as EUR 25,000 to EUR 100,000. Treat that range as a general reference, not as an offer or commitment from a particular investor. Check size can be one filter among several, alongside your fundraising stage, business model and market.
A practical starting point is to write down the specific reason an investor might consider your company. For example, connect your market to the investor’s stated sector interests, then identify evidence that supports your case. This keeps your search focused on relevance rather than recognition alone.
Which Berlin angels could fit your startup?
Examples of Berlin-focused investors and their stated roles and interests include:
- Rayk Reitenbach, Investment Director / Prokurist at IBB Ventures, with interests in artificial intelligence, healthcare and biotech.
- Michael Wieser, partner at b2venture, with interests in fintech, healthcare and biotech.
- Jonathan Becker, general partner at Headline, with interests in fintech and payments.
- Florian Heinemann, founding partner at Project A, with interests in fintech, healthcare and biotech.
- Feliks Eyser, founding partner at Jetpack, with interests in SaaS and enterprise, consumer and retail.
- Christian Miele, general partner at Headline, with interests in fintech, healthcare and biotech.
- Tim Rehder, general partner at Earlybird Venture Capital, with interests in artificial intelligence and fintech.
- Steffen Seifarth, managing director at Berlin Angel Fund, with interests in SaaS and enterprise.
Use these examples as prompts for further research, not as a ranking or endorsement. Before contacting someone, check whether their stated interests align with your company and whether the stage and size of your round make sense for your plans. A sector match alone does not mean an investor is currently considering your type of opportunity.
How can you build a focused Berlin investor list?
Start with fit criteria you can apply consistently. Define your stage, industry, geography and desired check size, then use them to sort potential investors. Round Funded lets founders search its investor coverage by stage, industry, geography and check size. Its coverage includes 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators, with investors filtered to recent activity, a check in roughly the last 6 months, and verified emails. You can submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors.
For each possible fit, record why you added that investor. A short note might capture the relevant sector, a connection to your stage, or a question you need to verify before outreach. This makes it easier to distinguish researched prospects from names that have not yet been assessed.
Prioritize a manageable group rather than sending the same message to everyone you find. The number of prospects you pursue should reflect the scope of your round and the time you can give to tailored communication. A focused list also gives you a clearer way to track who you have contacted and what you need to do next.
Berlin is not the only route to consider. If an accelerator could suit your company, Round Funded also covers YC, Techstars, Antler, 500 and 100+ regional programs, matched by stage, industry and region. These are another category to evaluate alongside angel investors, rather than a substitute for checking individual program fit.
What should you include in outreach to Berlin angels?
Make the message specific to the investor and easy to assess. Explain what your company does, who it serves and what you are raising for. Then connect the opportunity to a relevant investor interest and include evidence that supports your claims.
A concise outreach note can follow this structure:
- Company: Describe the product and customer in direct terms.
- Progress: Share a concrete company metric or other evidence relevant to your case.
- Fit: Explain why the investor’s stated interests connect to your business.
- Ask: Say what kind of conversation or consideration you are seeking.
Avoid treating a typical check-size range as a promise from any individual angel. Likewise, do not assume that a shared sector automatically establishes a strong fit. Clear, accurate context lets the investor assess your proposal without relying on broad claims.
You can use email or seek an introduction where an appropriate connection exists. Whichever route you choose, tailor the message, keep a record of your communication and respect a decline or a request not to be contacted. Follow-ups should be considerate and based on the context of the conversation, not sent as an automatic sequence regardless of the response.
How do you manage investor research and follow-up?
Fundraising involves more than finding names. You need to keep track of each prospect, the stage of the conversation and the next action. A single pipeline can help you avoid losing context as you move between research, outreach and follow-up.
Round Funded provides a fundraising pipeline with stages, investors and next steps in one place. Founders can send pitches and track replies, with outreach sent from their own Gmail so replies arrive in their inbox and the conversation remains in their thread. AI can draft a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor, giving you a starting point to review and adapt. Explore Round Funded to get matched with investors.
Your research and outreach materials can also be organized through Round Funded’s Data Room. It is free to build and share on every plan, and brings your deck, traction, team and ask together on one link. Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens and meeting clicks, come with Round+.
Review what you have learned before each next step. If an investor’s focus, stage or likely check size does not fit your round, update your list rather than continuing by default. Your process should help you make informed decisions; it cannot establish that an investor will reply or invest.
