Nearly a decade ago we started investing and actively supporting founders under the e42 brand.

Driven by our interest in technology and our belief in startups as an important motor for innovation, we started to explore how we could effectively help founders beyond our seed-investment.

In the years after our first investment in kaufDA, we went on to support companies like myTaxi and Wunderlist. All of them just had a founding team, an early prototype and an ambitious vision when we joined.

In 2014, Frank joined “Die Höhle der Löwen”, the German version of Sony Pictures’ prime-time TV show “Shark Tank”, as a jury member. Joining DHDL led to consumer products becoming an additional investment area.

In 2016 Christian Reber, the founder of Wunderlist, joined as Venture Partner adding his expertise in product, design and international scaling.

Our small team of ten people focuses on early stage startups in two areas:

Technology

Technology is the core DNA of our team. Our latest investment in Lilium Aviation reflects our ambition to support truly disruptive technology out of Europe.

Consumer Products

Our interest in consumer products and especially food started with the now famous Little Lunch (Organic soup) followed by investments in Ankerkraut (Spices) and Lizza (Low-carb pizza).

Today we announce our new brand, Freigeist Capital and our new partner Marcel Vogler.
