Christian Stein

Christian has been investing in software and technology companies since 2007 when he joined a venture capital fund to work his way up and become partner. In 2015, he started and then built a €275 million software and technology investment fund which he co-led as managing director until joining Riverside in 2020. In the beginning of his career, he also worked for large corporations such as IBM and EY and in management consulting at The Boston Consulting Group. In addition, he gained entrepreneurial experience as co-founder during the dot-com bubble and as CFO of a travel software start-up.

Christian holds a BSc in Information Systems from the Cooperative State University in Mannheim (Germany) and an MBA from the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. He is an avowed nerd with all natural sciences, and since he can‘t follow his original passion, martial arts, any longer, he now relaxes with yoga and running.
