Prequel Ventures

Prequel Ventures is a Berlin, Germany-based venture capital firm founded in 2022 by Mathias Bosse and Markus Boerner, who serve as the fund's two managing partners. The firm focuses exclusively on pre-seed investments in sustainable supply-chain, logistics, and industrial technology startups across Europe. Prequel's mission is to back visionary founding teams building more resilient, efficient, transparent, and sustainable supply chains — and to provide both capital and deep operational support from the earliest stages of formation. The firm announced its First Closing and is actively deploying across Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. Check sizes range from early-stage entries up to EUR 5 million, with a pre-seed sweet spot. Sector coverage spans B2B SaaS, AI, robotics and drones, supply-chain software, fintech, and manufacturing and industrial technology. As of October 2025 the firm has made 26 disclosed investments across an active portfolio of roughly 8 companies, with 3 investments in 2024 and 1 in 2025. Notable portfolio companies include Resourcly (industrial inventory sharing for circular supply chains — most recent investment, Seed VC-II, October 2025), Neutreeno (low-carbon procurement software for suppliers, invested October 2024), Bonx (modern ERP), PHINXT, and NIMMSTA. The broader co-investor network includes co-investors drawn from top European VC and deep-tech communities. Prequel's focus on supply chain is both timely and concentrated: geopolitical disruption, sustainability regulation, and the rising cost of inventory inefficiency have collectively elevated supply-chain software from a back-office concern to a board-level priority for European industrials. Bosse and Boerner bring direct operational insight into where the most acute founder-solvable problems exist across the supply chain, and provide hands-on support to help early-stage teams navigate enterprise sales cycles and corporate pilot programs.
