Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Omnis Mundi?
Co-founders Gerald Heydenreich and Alain Falys drive investment selection, drawing on their own entrepreneurial exits. Heydenreich's experience spans Portum and BuyVIP; Falys led OB10 and holds venture roles at Imperial Innovations and Firestartr. There is no disclosed investment committee beyond this partnership.
How does Omnis Mundi source proprietary deal flow?
The firm sources through its founders' deep operator networks in European technology, dating to the late 1990s. It also runs an open application process on its website, requiring founders to detail market size, monetization, and distribution plans. Its corporate partnerships — with groups like Deutsche Telekom and Siemens — sometimes surface ventures needing early technical or commercial support.
Is Omnis Mundi structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
It operates as an incubator deploying the partners' own capital, not a regulated venture fund with external LPs. The firm provides seed funding, technical co-building, and sales introductions — making it structurally closer to a startup studio than a conventional family office or institutional VC.
Does Omnis Mundi participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Omnis Mundi makes direct seed-stage investments in the companies it incubates. The firm also connects portfolio companies to venture capitalists in Europe and the US for follow-on funding but does not disclose acting as an LP in external venture funds.
What investment stages does Omnis Mundi typically target?
The firm focuses on the earliest stages, including pre-proof-of-concept and companies 'just leaving the garage,' as stated on its website. It supports expansion and late-stage growth through its network but typically enters at seed.
Which sectors does Omnis Mundi explicitly avoid?
Omnis Mundi does not publish a negative sector list. Its stated focus is e-commerce, hi-tech, social media, and innovative services. Sectors outside these — such as deep biotech or heavy industrials — have no presence in the disclosed portfolio.
Where does the underlying capital come from?
Capital is partner-provided, sourced from the founders' exits. Heydenreich sold BuyVIP to Amazon in 2010 and Portum to CapGemini/IBX in 2006. Falys remains a shareholder in OB10, which he co-founded and led as CEO. The firm does not disclose any outside limited partners.
