Venture Capital
We invest in the workplace of the future
Haufe Group Ventures invests in early-stage B2B startups with a focus on worktech.
As a corporate venture capital firm, we make fast decisions, think like entrepreneurs, and support our startup teams on an equal footing – providing capital, expertise, networks, and honest feedback.
We support the stages where ideas become companies.
Flexibility in investing, either alone or together with other investors.
in-house experts across Haufe Group for knowledge exchange.
Active support, not sideline spectating.
Capital is just the beginning. Partnership makes the difference. We say what we think, we keep our promises, and we remain committed – as a partner who thinks ahead, supports, and opens doors.
The world of work is changing. We're looking for teams that solve real problems, open up new markets, and are built to grow for the long haul.
Fewer workers. Higher demands.
Demographic change and a shortage of skilled employees are compounded by shifting values – companies must do more with less. We invest in digital solutions that address exactly this: automation, reskilling, knowledge management, and cultural transformation. Scalable, effective, and close to the businesses that need it most.
More regulation. More opportunity.
Europe is regulating – and that's creating markets. From ESG to supply chains to AI governance: Compliance is becoming a strategic area of investment. At the same time, pressure is growing to reduce digital dependencies on non-European platforms. We invest in RegTech, ESG, and governance solutions that turn mandatory requirements into real competitive advantages – smart, scalable, and built to last.
New technology. Real impact.
Small and medium-sized businesses are under pressure and looking for solutions that actually work. We invest in solutions that bring AI and automation directly into core processes: HR, finance, compliance, procurement. No large-scale implementation projects, but tangible, measurable results. We look for platforms that don't operate as standalone solutions, but integrate seamlessly into existing systems – and make them better.
We don’t just invest in startups – we invest in people. Our goal is to partner with strong founders and actively shape the future of work.
