XPRESS Ventures

XPRESS Ventures is a Berlin-based early-stage venture builder and pre-seed investor founded in 2019 as the in-house venture arm of FIEGE, the global family-owned logistics and contract-logistics group headquartered in Greven, Germany. Operating out of Berliner Maschinenraum, XPRESS Ventures pursues a company-builder model rather than a traditional fund structure, partnering with founders from formation through first commercial scale, often putting FIEGE's operational know-how, warehouse footprint and customer access on the table alongside capital, and it is willing to lead. Its mandate covers the 'infrastructure industries of modern society': LogTech, supply chain, manufacturing, real estate and proptech, transportation, climate tech and energy, security and governance, healthcare logistics, and enterprise software. The team is led by Managing Partner Matthias Friese, a serial founder and digital expert, with Adrian Graf as Partner and COO; FIEGE veteran Bernhard Gold has also been brought in to expand the broader FIEGE Ventures business unit, which includes related vehicle F-LOG Ventures. The portfolio includes Logistikbude in returnable transport-asset management, AutoPallet Robotics in autonomous mobile robots for warehouses, Pyck, its most recent investment in March 2025 in business and productivity software, and several other LogTech and industrial-software companies. Specific fund size and check-size figures are not publicly disclosed; deal sizes are consistent with European pre-seed rounds. By combining a company-builder model with FIEGE's logistics operations and customer access, XPRESS Ventures backs founders building the infrastructure industries of modern society, from logtech and supply chain to proptech, energy and enterprise software.
