Founders who have lived the problem: The strongest companies in my portfolio were built by people who spent years inside the industry they're now transforming. That kind of depth produces products people genuinely love and businesses that are nearly impossible to replicate. It's the first thing I look for in every conversation.
Construction. Logistics. Healthcare administration. Care documentation. Some of my best investments came from sectors most investors called too niche, too slow, or too unsexy. The more specific the vertical, the more interested I tend to be. Those are the markets where real willingness to pay meets almost no competition.
The industries I invest in don't make headlines. Logistics, construction, healthcare, life sciences. These are massive markets where the problems are deeply understood by the people who live them every day, but barely touched by technology. That gap is where category leaders get built. Sennder reimagined road freight across Europe. Voize is transforming how caregivers document patient care through AI. Qualifyze is bringing supplier audits into the digital age for life sciences. The pattern is always the same: a founder who understood the problem before they ever thought about starting a company, and a product that users love from day one.
Most people who want to break into venture capital apply for a job. Felix built a company. He co-founded Skive while still studying at LMU Munich, a digital learning platform that grew to more than 250,000 students across Europe before being acquired. That experience is not a line on his CV. It's the lens through which he reads every founder, every pitch, and every critical decision.
Felix graduated with distinction from both LMU Munich and LSE London, where his master's thesis examined the political power of venture capital at a time when technology, regulation, and geopolitics were still treated as separate worlds. He first walked into HV as an intern in 2013. By 2017, he was back full-time. In 2024, he was promoted to General Partner, leading HV's investments in B2B marketplaces, vertical software, and healthcare. His portfolio includes sennder, Voize, Qualifyze, Praxipal, Schüttflix, and Sdui. When he's not investing, he's climbing walls, indoors and out, or on whatever pitch, court, or field he can find.
