Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Agile Partners?
Co-founders Markus Hennig (CEO), Jan Hichert, and Gert Hansen lead investment decisions. The three previously co-founded and exited Astaro (sold to Sophos) and Ocedo (sold to Riverbed), providing a shared operating background that shapes how they evaluate and support portfolio companies.
Is Agile Partners a venture fund or an operator-led investment company?
Agile Partners operates as an investment company deploying proprietary capital rather than a third-party venture fund. The founders reinvest proceeds from their own successful exits, which eliminates the fundraising cycle and limited-partner reporting obligations that shape traditional VC firms.
What investment stages does Agile Partners target?
The firm targets early-stage companies, specifically at the startup phase. Its involvement typically begins when founders need both initial capital and operational guidance to move from product concept to commercial traction.
Which sectors does Agile Partners focus on?
The firm concentrates on B2B software, with an emphasis on enterprise software, cybersecurity, and industrial technology. This focus reflects the domains where the founding team built and scaled their own companies.
How is Agile Partners connected to the Karlsruhe technology ecosystem?
CEO Markus Hennig serves on the board of CyberForum e.V., the leading ICT network in Karlsruhe. Agile Partners is headquartered in the city and maintains a Berlin office, giving it direct exposure to one of Germany's most concentrated regions for B2B technology startups.
