Conny & Co
Conny & Co was co-founded in Switzerland by Cornelius Boersch alongside Philip Behrends and Christine Schmitz Riol. Boersch, often labeled a 'Super Angel' in German-language tech circles, built his reputation through a relentless pace of early-stage commitments across Europe and emerging markets. The firm reflects his personal investment activity more than a traditional institutional architecture, operating as a generalist asset manager with a portfolio that spans venture capital, PropTech, and hospitality technology. The firm's strategy centers on early-stage and growth equity, with a strong co-investment model. Boersch's Entrepreneur's Day (Unternehmertag) network functions as a sourcing mechanism, bringing deal flow through an established community of business angels and operators. Confirmed thematic exposures include a dedicated PropTech and hospitality tech portfolio with a global remit. The firm has also signaled interest in Sri Lanka through a strategic partnership with Love Yadav, General Partner at Lion Ventures, indicating an appetite for frontier-market venture. Conny & Co maintains proximity to structured finance through its principals. Philipp Rösler, former Vice Chancellor of Germany, serves as a board member of Mountain & Co. I Acquisition Corp, a SPAC linked to the broader Boersch ecosystem. The firm's co-investors include Christine Schmitz Riol, who co-founded Mountain Partners, further blurring the line between a single-family investment office and a networked asset manager. The European Health & Longevity Institute (EHLI) adds a philanthropic dimension, though its structural separation from the investment entity remains opaque. Unlike a conventional venture firm, Conny & Co lacks a formal fund-cycle mandate or external LP reporting obligations, granting it permanent capital flexibility. This structure, combined with Boersch's personal brand as a prolific angel investor, creates a sourcing advantage in DACH-region deal flow while making the firm's total deployment and realized track record difficult to independently assess.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Conny & Co?
Cornelius Boersch, the founder, functions as the central decision-maker, reflecting his history as a 'Super Angel' with over 300 seed investments. Co-founders Philip Behrends and Christine Schmitz Riol are also named as co-investors, but the investment posture heavily aligns with Boersch's personal network and track record.
How does Conny & Co source proprietary deal flow?
Deal flow originates primarily through Cornelius Boersch's personal network, anchored by his flagship Entrepreneur's Day (Unternehmertag) event. This convening of business angels and operators in the DACH region serves as a recurring sourcing channel, augmented by the Angelgate AG business angel club.
Is Conny & Co structured as a single family office or an institutional fund manager?
It operates as a hybrid. While legally an asset manager, its capital base lacks external LP pressure and its strategy mirrors the permanent, flexible capital of a family office. The firm does not publicly report a standard fund-cycle structure, making it distinct from both a classic venture capital firm and a formal single-family office.
What investment stages does Conny & Co typically target?
The firm targets early-stage, startup, and growth equity. Its posture blends classic angel investing velocity with later-stage growth capital, particularly within PropTech and hospitality technology, though it has the mandate to pursue generalist venture opportunities globally.
Which sectors does Conny & Co explicitly focus on?
Confirmed thematic portfolios include a global PropTech and hospitality technology allocation. Beyond this, the firm's generalist venture strategy spans enterprise software and frontier market deals, such as a strategic partnership channel into Sri Lanka.
