WHY GO BIG IF YOU CAN GO BOOOM💥 After final closing in March, Booom is now officially launching into the venture universe! Super excited to partner with David, Julius and Nicolaus on this galactic mission ☄️ A €17M micro fund: Investing €100k - €400k checks in Angel only rounds and at PreSeed & Seed across Europe 👨🚀 A product crafted by founders for founders: Every founder backed by Booom enters a dedicated 1:1 sparing and mentoring relationship with David, Nico or Julius - the co-founders of tech unicorn sennder 🚀 The rocket has taken off: We’ve been busy investing since first closing last year -  stay tuned for more news on that end throughout the coming weeks and months 🛰️ An impactful LP base: Booom is backed by institutional investors, a long list of unicorn founders & operators, family business entrepreneurs as well as by the broader VC ecosystem First and foremost, our conviction to invest is driven by the founders we back: irrationally driven individuals, who can well articulate their deep understanding around burning problems in large B2B markets - and who are fueled by the ambition to build venture scale technology companies to solve them. We put a strong emphasis of investing in capital efficient businesses, which grow inherently defensible over time (driven by data or distribution network effects, user-lock in effects and/or system & process integrations) - in markets that experience tailwinds on macro level due to regulatory changes (think #SupplyChainAct), shift in technology (think #GenAI) or market structure changes (think #SkilledWorkerShortage). ❤️ A big THANK YOU to our LPs, existing portfolio Astronauts and the BOOOM network of friends & family - your trust is a privilege and we will treat it carefully 💥Let’s go Booom!💥 Press coverage in the comments 👇 Alexander Rinke, André Schwämmlein, Benedikt Franke, Carlos Gonzalez-Cadenas, Caspar W., Christian Figge, Christian Meermann, Christoph Zoeller, Daniel Krauss, Daniel Metzler, Fabian Wesemann, Felix Haas, Filip Felician Dames, Florian Kamps, Fredrik Cassel  , Jochen Engert, Joachim Drees, Johan Brenner, Johannes Plehn, Katharina Wilhelm, Marc-Alexander Christ, Mathias Haniel, Michael Wax, Noah Eisner, Peter Specht, Riccardo Zacconi, Rubin Ritter, Sebastian Knutsson, Sonali De Rycker, Staffan Helgesson, Stella Norton, Tao Tao, Ted Alling, Tom Krüger, Yannick Sonnenberg #B2BSoftware #VC #Tech #PreSeed #Seed #booom
