Utilize tomorrow’s opportunities today.

Haufe Group Ventures helps new ideas for corporate services to develop and flourish. Our focus is on two areas: with Venture Capital we act as an investor that supports and accompanies founders and their companies, and with Venture Studio we develop innovative and pioneering products.

Venture Capital.
We invest in ideas.

We invest in innovative B2B SaaS companies that focus on corporate services. In doing so, we look out for a clear product vision, a strong team and parameters such as market size, competitive environment and business model. As an investor we not only support with the necessary capital, but also use our expertise and network to develop the young companies together with their founders. Our commitment is focused on the entire DACH region.

These start-ups are already part of our portfolio:

Hivebuy

Hivebuy

Bettina Fischer and Stefan Kiehne had had enough of dry and repetitive procurement processes. The Berlin-based founding team therefore developed their intelligent purchasing software Hivebuy in 2021 which the start-up offers as Software as a Service. The solution helps companies to organize orders and make spending more transparent – whether for services, software or hardware.

Nuwo.

Nuwo.

"Why do companies so often leave their employees sitting at their kitchen table when they work at home?" This question from founder Lisa Rosa Bräutigam came about in 2021. The Workplace as a Service start-up offers office furniture on a leasing basis, with the employees developing curated and individually branded online stores for companies so they can equip, finance and manage workplaces in a legally compliant manner.

Creating video content in companies simply, quickly and in high quality is the declared goal of Mozaik. From planning and editing to sharing, the Mozaik corporate video platform enables employees to create professional videos entirely without prior knowledge. The brains behind the concept are David Knöbl and Neele Maarten de Vries, who founded their first company shortly after graduating from high school before coming up with the idea for Mozaik.

Rhome

Rhome

Flexible and location-independent working makes employees more productive and motivated – the start-up founded by Dr. Julia Ezinger and Daniel Ratke is based on this fundamental idea. In the form of rhome, they combine compliance and global mobility management requirements with modern working and living qualities and help companies to set up efficient workflows. This transparent digitalization and automation of processes significantly reduces the workload for HR departments.

Closing the pension gap: The digital start-up DYNO is pursuing the goal of revolutionizing retirement provision. By avoiding high brokerage commissions, DYNO can offer occupational pension contracts at significantly lower prices and thus provide an enormous pension advantage for employees. Companies benefit from a software solution for managing their company pension scheme. DYNO was founded in Offenburg in 2021 and, under the leadership of co-founders and CEOs Marc Karkossa and Luis Weber, has already established itself on the market as a relevant company in the field of pensions.

Venture Studio.
We develop ideas.

Ideas only become innovations and valuable business models upon their implementation. A good first impulse is fundamental but is not sufficient on its own. This is why we test and verify new products and translate them into viable concepts.   As part of this we analyses fundamental topic clusters that are of interest for the future and evaluate them qualitatively and quantitatively. And always with the aim of learning with and through our target groups, building up valuable business and thus generating new streams of revenue. In doing so, we comply with the following process:

HG_Pikto_Research_Lime

Research

We scour through both established and new markets, illuminating their target groups and localizing their needs.

HG_Pikto_Ideate+Prototype_Lime

Ideate & Prototype

Following the analysis and after gaining feedback from the target groups, we rapidly develop and test prototypes.

HG_Pikto_MVP+Scale_Lime

MVP & Scale

If our solution is accepted and the development forecast is positive, we develop a minimum viable product (MVP). This is our first step into the market and the start of scaling.

„We believe in innovative ideas and people with strong visions. As an investor, we use our expertise and experience to actively promote entrepreneurship and up-and-coming business ideas.“
