Blue Lion (Schörghuber Family Office)
Blue Lion was founded in 2003 as the dedicated vehicle for the Schörghuber family, now in its third generation. The family wealth traces to Josef Schörghuber's real-estate activities that later incorporated Paulaner Brewery through a Heineken joint venture and additional hospitality and seafood interests. The office executes three parallel sleeves. Operative Beteiligungen focus on Schörghuber Group adjacencies in the EU, Switzerland, and the UK. Venture capital targets PropTech, Agritech, AI, FinTech, InsurTech, and related software from seed through later stages across Europe, the UK, Switzerland, the United States, and Israel. Fund commitments cover private equity, venture capital, and agriculture with exposure extending to Latin America. Geographic reach therefore spans Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Philanthropic activity runs through the Josef Schörghuber-Stiftung für Münchner Kinder and the Stefan Schörghuber Stiftung, both directed at social and scientific causes in Munich. Alexandra Schörghuber serves as Chairwoman of the Foundation Board while also holding a seat on the Administrative Advisory Board of FC Bayern München e. V.
