BONVENTURE is an impact-driven venture capital firm founded in 2003 and based in Munich. Over two decades the team has managed about €100 million and supported more than 60 startups across the German-speaking region. Its portfolio has achieved a reduction of roughly 650,000 tons of CO₂ emissions and touched the lives of over 7.4 million people. With a focus on social and environmental outcomes alongside financial performance, the firm channels funding and expertise to founders committed to solving pressing challenges.
The firm directs investments toward four main areas: digital health innovations, programs that expand equality and educational access, climate and nature initiatives, and sustainable consumption models. Through equity, debt, and hybrid finance structures, BONVENTURE offers hands-on guidance and a transparent decision process. Its selection criteria prioritize founders with authentic leadership, clear mission alignment, and measurable results. The team’s blend of startup and consulting backgrounds ensures portfolio companies benefit from strategic advice, network connections, and rigorous impact reporting designed to track progress in both societal metrics and financial returns.
Within its climate and nature portfolio, BONVENTURE backs ventures tackling renewable energy, resource efficiency, and sustainable production methods. Selected companies include those that trace food from source to table, harness marine ecosystems as natural carbon sinks, and develop open-source energy storage platforms. With the recent launch of its fifth fund, BV5, the firm shows continued interest in supporting scalable storage solutions that bolster grid resilience and low-carbon transitions. While no battery-focused company is highlighted, the firm’s investments in energy storage reflect a broader commitment to clean energy integration and environmental stewardship.
