D11Z.Ventures takes off in the direction of AI

With D11Z.Ventures, one of Germany’s largest family offices intends to establish a new venture capitalist on the market and invest in the best start-ups and key technologies. The realigned venture capital fund has big plans: While, until now, investments have primarily been made regionally, in the future, D11Z intends to invest in start-ups with a focus on digital business models in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), deep tech,software as a service (SaaS) and the Internet of Things (especially asset-light IoT) .

As an early-stage investor focussed on technology, D11Z.Ventures aims to accelerate digital change in the country. The first signal has already been given with the investment in the AI start-up Aleph Alpha from Heidelberg – in close cooperation with the Schwarz Group.
"We hope that the dynamics that we are able to experience in Heilbronn and help shape in equal measure will not only benefit Germany, but also Europe as a center of technology," explains Thomas Villinger, CEO of D11Z.Ventures. "As a well-capitalized single family office, we are in a unique position to promote sustainable digital innovations and visionary entrepreneurship both nationally and internationally."

D11Z.Ventures emerged from the Heilbronn Future Fund (ZFHN), which was founded in 2005 with the aim of promoting industrial change in the Heilbronn region. Together with its subsidiary BORN2GROW (B2G), the fund successfully invested in 35 start-ups. As a result, it has been possible to significantly promote small and medium-sized technology companies, strengthen the Heilbronn tech scene, and create new jobs in future-oriented industries.
The fund now has ten successful exits at national and international level.

Now the D11Z.Ventures brand is following its own technological ambition with a European focus: Faster, more digital, more sustainable. The current portfolio already includes several promising start-ups from industries of the future. Thanks to a broad network in business and science, D11Z.Ventures can make targeted investments.

The rapidly growing ecosystem in Heilbronn is helping here, where Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence (Ipai), Campus Founders, 42 Heilbronn, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, soon also ETH Zurich, the Fraunhofer Institute, and many other institutions are also fueling the start-up scene.

"We aspire to be a top address among German venture capital companies," says Villinger.
