Runa Advisors
Stefan Muelheim established Runa Advisors following the unstructured handling of his uncle's estate in Munich. The firm provides independent advisory on governance, succession, and investment execution without bank affiliations. Runa Advisors deploys capital across real estate, fine art and collectibles, blockchain and digital assets, and sustainable agriculture. It structures direct co-investments and SPVs rather than committing to external funds. The firm covers Europe and North America through its partnerships and maintains an off-market focus in London, New York City, and Zug. Confirmed service lines include family governance, philanthropy structuring, and personal security advisory. The firm lists 35 years of combined industry experience among its principals and reports a network of 350 families and partners. It operates a joint venture through DIX Global for direct investments and club deals. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in public materials. Runa Advisors maintains independence from banks and institutions, routing deal flow through its two exclusive family-office partnerships rather than through traditional intermediaries or platforms.
