Magnetic Capital

Magnetic concentrates on European B2B software and tech-enabled companies at Seed and Series A. Its thesis targets applied AI, industrial automation, enterprise SaaS, and regulatory-technology startups, with a geographic focus on Germany, the Nordics, and the UK. The firm publicly states it avoids consumer, hardware-heavy clean-tech, and pure pharmaceutical plays.

The firm writes lead checks large enough to secure a board seat and maintains a concentrated portfolio of roughly 12 to 15 positions. It often uses its early lead-investor status to negotiate pro-rata terms at the next round and selectively forms SPVs for capital-intensive bridge rounds. It does not operate a fund-of-funds sleeve or a separate growth-equity vehicle.

Public record has not disclosed the firm's current general partners or investment committee structure. The firm operates as a tight partnership from a single Berlin office. No named managing partner or CIO has been confirmed by the firm's official communications at this time.

Magnetic positions itself as a capital-concentration vehicle in the Berlin early-stage market, running a far more concentrated portfolio than typical local seed funds. This model gives the firm board-level influence in a handful of companies rather than a broad index exposure, creating an alignment structure closer to a family-office direct-investment approach than a traditional venture franchise.

Yes. The firm syndicates selectively on an SPV basis, particularly for follow-on rounds where a portfolio company requires additional capital. It also works alongside other institutional VCs at the initial round, though it typically writes the lead check to secure governance rights and information flow.
