KONIGI Ventures

KONIGI Ventures

Founded by Ralf Hager — formerly a managing director at INTEC — and Sonja Hager, KONIGI Ventures operates out of Bad Vilbel, near Frankfurt. The firm manages capital with a generalist mandate, eschewing a single-asset-class focus in favor of a portfolio that spans early-stage direct investments, residential real estate in Germany, and a senior living and care concepts platform. Sonja Hager is also a co-founder of Vertevis Capital Partners, alongside Martin Krill and Sadia Wern-Sukhera, linking the firm to a broader advisory and investment network. The investment strategy covers two distinct lanes. On the venture side, KONIGI targets early-stage startups and participates in venture capital and private equity funds. The real estate footprint includes a German residential portfolio and a dedicated senior-living vehicle. A mixed-use property in Tivat, Montenegro operates under the KONIGI VENTURES MNE entity, indicating a geographic reach that extends into the Adriatic region. The dual focus on illiquid real assets and early-stage venture equity creates a return profile that blends income-generating holdings with higher-upside technology exposure. The firm maintains a lean operating structure. Key business relationships orbit around Vertevis Capital Partners and Hager Executive Consulting, where Martin Krill serves as a co-founder. These parallel vehicles suggest an integrated approach to deal origination and executive placement, providing KONIGI with access to operating talent and co-investment pipeline. The philanthropic activity is channeled through Ukrainischer Verein Frankfurt am Main e.V., a Frankfurt-based association supporting Ukraine-related causes. KONIGI's architecture is distinct in its deliberate lack of specialization. Rather than raising external commitments or pursuing a thematic venture mandate, the firm functions as a permanent capital base deploying into venture, real estate, and healthcare services simultaneously. This structure gives the principals flexibility to reallocate across asset classes without LP constraints — a posture more characteristic of a family office than an asset manager.
