Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Collective Ventures?
Investment decisions are led by the four named partners: Julian Kappus, Cecil von Croÿ, Dr. Nicolaus Berlin, and Falk Schäfers. Day-to-day sourcing and evaluation is supported by Investment Lead Christopher Garlich. No further detail on specific voting rights or investment committees has been disclosed publicly.
What is Collective Ventures' known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Co-investing is the core structural feature of the firm. Collective Ventures actively seeks external co-investors to join its rounds, a pitch that it markets directly to founders and participants as a way to “scale our investment.” This stands in contrast to firms that exclusively deploy committed, closed-fund capital.
