Gran Riserva is a dedicated angel investment vehicle, deploying personal capital into 2 to 3 pre-seed opportunities annually across DACH and Europe. Ticket sizes range from €5,000 to €25,000. 

We target exceptional founding teams with a well-thought-out business model and prototype or MVP. We do not necessarily expect revenue or specific traction metrics – a disciplined focus ensures concentrated investments into high-conviction opportunities.

We invest at the intersection of Consumer Tech, EdTech, Data Privacy, Cyber Security and Media, often with AI/ML or Hardtech components, united by a commitment to responsible media, trusted news and democratic discourse. These sectors advance trusted information and broader education as pillars of a free and open society; we explicitly avoid models that undermine these principles. Investments prioritise team, product, defensible moat and impact.

As operators at heart, we provide hands-on value-add through product sparring, branding and story development, go-to-market guidance and access to content and media houses, agencies, tech and product communities and DACH K‑12 education networks. Ad‑hoc support and regular sparring position us as an approachable partner.
