Scope Hanson
Scope Hanson is the external-facing investment vehicle of the Bremke family office, headed by founder Andreas Bremke. The firm operates from Berlin with additional offices in Arnsberg, Germany and Baar, Switzerland, placing it at the intersection of European middle-market private equity and venture capital. Unlike many single-family offices that invest primarily through funds, Scope Hanson takes a direct, entrepreneurial approach — the firm describes itself as a partner that invests "both equity and debt capital" into operating businesses and real estate. The firm's investment activity splits across three asset classes: majority or significant minority stakes in mid-sized companies across German-speaking Europe, early-stage to growth venture rounds in technology startups, and direct real estate development through its affiliated real estate arm ANH Hausbesitz. The venture portfolio shows a concentration in fintech and insurtech. Scope Hanson backed Berlin-based insurance manager CLARK, which integrated finanzen Group in November 2021 in a deal involving Allianz X and capital from Tencent, White Star Capital, and Eldridge (per the firm, November 2021). The firm also participated in Volders, a German contract-management platform that acquired competitor Aboalarm in 2021, processing over 110,000 contract cancellations per month (per the firm). Real estate holdings span commercial properties in Berlin and Munich, plus residential exposure through the Dallas Farmers Market project in the United States (per Altss research). Managing Director Victor Schlenkhoff helps oversee operations alongside Bremke, and the group's real estate activities run through ANH Hausbesitz and ABCH Holding AG in Switzerland. The family office's parent structure, Bremke Holding GmbH & Co. KG, anchors the whole group. Scope Hanson's geographic focus is primarily DACH-region mid-market companies, with select venture bets that occasionally pull in co-investors from North America and Asia, as seen in the international syndicate around CLARK. The firm's structural differentiator is its integrated real asset and venture model — rather than separating property from private equity and early-stage tech, Scope Hanson pools them under one investment company. This approach makes it a generalist allocator within a family-office chassis, with no formal fund structures or external limited partners disclosed, giving Bremke full control over pace and portfolio construction. The Swiss holding company and the mix of Berlin commercial property with Texas residential exposure suggest a deliberate geographic diversification not typical of strictly DACH-focused family offices.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Scope Hanson?
Founder Andreas Bremke serves as Managing Partner and is the ultimate decision-maker. Victor Schlenkhoff is listed as Managing Director, suggesting shared operational responsibility for the portfolio. The firm does not disclose an investment committee or external advisors, consistent with a family-office model where the principal retains control.
Is Scope Hanson a single-family office or an asset manager?
Scope Hanson is structured as an asset manager — the investment company of the Bremke family office. It operates as a direct investor rather than a licensed third-party manager, deploying the family's own capital across operating businesses, venture rounds, and real estate projects. The parent entity is Bremke Holding GmbH & Co. KG.
Does Scope Hanson invest in external funds or only directly?
The firm emphasizes direct investments, describing itself as an entrepreneurial partner that provides equity and debt capital. No fund-of-funds commitments have been publicly identified. Portfolio companies like CLARK and Volders were direct equity positions, suggesting a preference for control or significant minority stakes.
What geographies does Scope Hanson target?
The core focus is the DACH region — Germany, Austria, and Switzerland — for mid-market operating companies. However, the firm holds Swiss real estate through ABCH Holding AG and owns the Dallas Farmers Market residential project in the United States (per Altss research). Its venture syndicates, like the CLARK deal, have included international investors from North America and Asia.
How is ANH Hausbesitz related to Scope Hanson?
ANH Hausbesitz is the dedicated real estate development and management arm of the Bremke family office. It handles commercial properties such as The KNEE in Berlin and the GALILEO mixed-use project in Munich, separating property operations from the investment company's venture and mid-market M&A activities.
What investment stages does Scope Hanson typically target?
The firm's venture strategy spans seed, start-up, and growth stages. In established companies, it targets mid-market firms in German-speaking Europe, often with a focus on roll-ups or consolidation plays — as seen with Volders' acquisition of Aboalarm and CLARK's integration of finanzen Group.
Does Scope Hanson maintain philanthropic structures?
No philanthropic foundation or donor-advised entity has been publicly linked to the Bremke family office. The disclosed structure — Bremke Holding, Scope Hanson, ANH Hausbesitz, and the Swiss ABCH Holding — focuses entirely on for-profit investment activities.
