another.vc
another.vc is a seed-stage venture firm based in Mulheim-Ruhr, Germany. It positions itself as a first-believer investor, backing founders who apply deep research to industry-specific problems. The firm does not publish its founding year or partner names. Its portfolio spans AI-driven drug discovery, construction procurement data layers, human-like industrial automation, AI media asset management for sports, and reusable spacecraft. The firm invests across Europe, with named exposure to Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. The investment process rejects market-sizing exercises in favor of founder evaluation. Structure appears fully discretionary — no fund-of-funds, club-deal, or SPV model is disclosed. Team size, total deployment, and office footprint beyond the Mulheim-Ruhr headquarters are not publicly stated. There is no disclosure of philanthropic vehicles or adjacent operating companies. In 2025, portfolio company baCta raised €7M in seed funding led by LocalGlobe and Daphni, while ETH robotics spinout Mimic raised a $16M seed round led by Elaia and Speedinvest. another.vc’s structural differentiator is its explicit rejection of hype-topic investing and market-sizing orthodoxy at the earliest stage. The firm frames itself as a patient-capital backstop that stays in the background but actively opens network doors — a posture that blurs the line between angel syndicate and institutional seed fund, yet without the public-facing brand apparatus of either.

Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does another.vc target?
another.vc invests at the earliest stage, describing itself as a first-believer investor. It supports startups from day one and leads or participates in seed rounds. The firm provides patient capital and does not anchor decisions to rigid theses, favoring founder quality over near-term product-market fit metrics.
Which sectors does another.vc explicitly focus on?
The firm concentrates on three areas: AI Applications targeting industry-specific problems, Bio and Healthcare at the convergence of technology and medicine, and Frontier Tech that turns research into new markets. Portfolio examples include dexterous robotics, reusable spacecraft, AI media asset management, and federated drug-discovery models.
Who runs investment decisions at another.vc?
another.vc does not publicly name its investment committee, general partners, or principals. The firm's website contains no team page, and no individual decision-makers are identified in available primary sources. This posture is consistent with its stated preference to stay in the background.
How does another.vc source its deal flow?
The firm indicates it sources opportunities through its network and by backing founders who approach problems from a research-first angle, including academic spinouts. It does not disclose a formal scouting program, fellowship, or institutional LP-referral network, suggesting deal flow is relationship-driven and concentrated in European deep-tech and university ecosystems.
Is another.vc structured as a single family office or a traditional venture firm?
another.vc presents itself as a private equity firm focused on seed-stage venture. No evidence points to a single-family office structure or captive capital from a single wealth origin. Its model — discretionary early-stage investing — aligns with a traditional venture capital firm, though without the public fundraising announcements typical of institutional VC peers.
