Cooperativa Venture Group
Cooperativa Venture Group was founded in 2017 by five entrepreneurs whose prior exits created the capital base. Nikolas Samios and Anja Rath serve as managing partners; Andreas von Blottnitz, Jan Henric Buettner and Christian Vollmann act as senior and venture partners. The office supports the principals' direct company holdings and VC fund commitments. The firm allocates across venture capital, private credit and secondaries. It executes direct co-investments through SPVs and participates in fund commitments. Confirmed prior involvements of the partners include Delivery Hero, Spotify, SoundCloud, Scalable Capital and Volocopter. Activity spans Europe, North America, South America and the Caribbean. The partners have participated in more than 200 venture transactions collectively. No public disclosure exists for headcount or additional offices. The firm maintains Cooperativa Venture Office GmbH and Cooperativa Venture Services GmbH as operating entities in Berlin. Partners contribute to non-profit media and association work focused on European startup governance. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The office differs from standard multi-family platforms through its closed group of five founding entrepreneurs who retain direct operating roles. Capital deployment remains evergreen and tied to the principals' personal networks rather than external LP mandates.
