Zen11 Holdings

Zen11 Holdings

Zen11 Holdings was established as a family office based in Graz, Austria, managing capital with a multi-decade horizon for future generations. The firm's own materials describe it as cross-generational and not exit-driven, prioritizing long-term value creation over fund-lifecycle pressure. Its investment activities span direct venture capital, real estate development, and classic multi-asset management. The firm runs an early-stage venture strategy targeting business models that address social and environmental challenges. Its portfolio is concentrated in Austria and Germany, with select exposure to the United States. Confirmed positions include Graz-based agri-tech company smaXtec, which deploys a sensor-based dairy health system; Berkeley-based biopreservation startup X-Therma; and sports-tech platform Coachbetter, whose customers include Borussia Dortmund and the Austrian Football Federation. Zen11 also holds stakes in scoretec AI Football, a data analytics and scouting solution for professional clubs, and Climcycle, an ESG SaaS platform providing climate risk analytics to banks and insurers. The firm participates in the European Angel Fund (EAF) program of the European Investment Bank, a structure that gives it access to co-investment deal flow and a continent-wide network of venture and private equity investors. The firm's operational footprint is lean and centralized in Graz. In addition to venture holdings, Zen11 maintains a real estate development arm focused on sustainable projects, supplemented by a property management business, an insurance advisory, and a brokerage office. It also controls entities that extend into wealth management and asset services: Omicron Investment Management GmbH serves as a platform for investment specialists, while Bogen & Partner Wealth Managers provides independent financial consulting. There is no public headcount or assets-under-management figure, and the principals who lead investment decisions are not named on the firm's website or in any public filing. What structurally distinguishes Zen11 is its explicit link to European Investment Bank infrastructure. The 2018 qualification as an EAF investor embeds the firm in a formal co-investment mechanism that sources deals across the European Union—a structure more typical of development-finance vehicles than of a single family office. This institutional pipeline, combined with its reported long-duration mandate and cross-asset reach into real estate and operating businesses, shapes a capital base that behaves less like a conventional venture fund and more like a permanent-holdings vehicle with public-investor adjacency.
