WestTech Ventures

WestTech Ventures is a Berlin-based hybrid investment firm founded in 2013 that operates in two complementary modes: as a direct pre-seed and seed venture capital investor backing B2B software founders in Germany and DACH, and as a Limited Partner and fund-of-funds partner committing to emerging European VC managers. The firm was founded by Masoud Kamali, a serial international entrepreneur best known for building Software & Support Media into a leading enterprise-tech media business starting in 1995, and is co-led on the investment side by Partner Fabian Leipelt, who has more than a decade of investing experience across both startups and fund commitments. Its direct-investment thesis sectors include automation, climate, future of work and digital health, all built on enterprise SaaS foundations, and tickets are sized for pre-seed and seed rounds, generally as a co-investor. The firm reports a team of approximately 13 people. Across roughly 60 to 81 disclosed direct and indirect investments, WestTech's portfolio has produced two IPOs and 18 acquisitions; named portfolio companies include Bird in micro-mobility, Marley Spoon in meal kits, Delivery Hero in food delivery, Climedo in clinical-trial software, which closed a EUR 5M seed led by Nauta Capital, Lumiform in digital inspections, MILES in mobility, Accure in battery analytics, GitButler in developer tools, Latana in brand tracking, and Opna in climate finance, WestTech's most recent reported investment in September 2023. By combining direct seed investing with fund-of-funds commitments, WestTech Ventures backs B2B software founders in the DACH region while supporting emerging European venture managers.
