Richmond View Ventures

Richmond View Ventures (RVV) is an early-stage venture capital and angel investment platform founded in 2007 by serial entrepreneur Frederik Fleck. Originally established to consolidate Fleck's personal angel investments and entrepreneurial activities, the firm initially operated across San Francisco and Berlin before centralizing at its Berlin headquarters, where it is registered as Richmond View Ventures GmbH. RVV provides both capital and operational expertise to founders at the earliest stages, originally focusing on internet, mobile and media companies, and subsequently prioritizing B2B SaaS, health tech and AI alongside direct-to-consumer businesses with proven customer acquisition and early revenues. The firm is led operationally by Managing Director Norbert Neef, with Fleck serving as Founding Partner. Across tracked sources, the portfolio spans 43 investments concentrated in SaaS, software, AI and deep tech, and health technology. Notable portfolio companies include Lento Bio (drug discovery), Infravoltaic (alternative energy equipment), Sable (a Seed VC investment in February 2020), and Vault Platform, which was acquired by governance software firm Diligent in May 2025 -- a realized exit that demonstrates the fund's ability to back compliance and enterprise software companies through to acquisition. The most recent documented investment was Webme in November 2023. Richmond View Ventures operates with an angel-like cadence rather than a traditional GP-LP fund structure, which allows the platform to move quickly at pre-seed and seed stages and work closely with founders through the formative period of company building. Frederik Fleck's background as a serial operator informs the platform's hands-on approach to portfolio engagement, with a particular emphasis on product strategy, team-building and customer development.
