Tier Mobility and GoStudent in the portfolio

“The topics we focus on in this fund are diverse and include everything from B2B to B2C marketplaces to sharing, subscription and circular economy models. Network effects remain a central element of our work, but are supplemented by consumer issues, as the boundaries between traditional retail and platforms are becoming more and more blurred, ”says Ockenfels.

That he and his team have a good knack for investing is shown by the current portfolio, which includes the unicorns Tier Mobility and GoStudent and up-and-coming startups such as Schüttflix, byrd, Planetly or Coachhub. As reported, GoStudent in particular, where Speedinvest has been on board for many years, has proven to be a pretty good return (more on this here).

In total, Speedinvest has collected more than 100 million euros for marketplaces and platforms, with more than 50 million euros coming from external investors and the flagship fund (there are also special funds for fintech and industry) from Speedinvest the other 50 percent of the capital contributed.
