About Us

A focused firm for a specific, underserved market.

Our story

Why we exist

altitude Capital Management GmbH was founded on a simple observation: enterprise software gets most of the venture capital attention, while small and medium-sized enterprises — the businesses that employ most of Europe's workforce — remain underserved by purpose-built tools.

We back founders who build practical, well-designed B2B software for this segment. Our team combines investment experience with backgrounds in enterprise software operations, giving us a grounded view of what it takes for SME-focused products to succeed.

We are based in Berlin and invest primarily across the DACH region and wider Europe, working closely with a small number of companies at any given time.

How we work

Principles that guide our investments

Focus over breadth

We invest in a specific thesis rather than chasing every trend, so we can go deep with the founders we back.

Founder-aligned terms

We aim for terms that are fair and transparent, and we explain our reasoning rather than simply presenting a term sheet.

Patient capital

Building for SMEs takes time. We plan for multi-year relationships rather than short-term outcomes.

Hands-on, not hands-in

We support where it is useful — hiring, positioning, follow-on introductions — and step back where it is not.
