About Brightpoint Capital Invest

Brightpoint Capital Invest GmbH is the alternative-investment arm of the Brightpoint Group, headquartered at Hohe Bleichen 21 in Hamburg with additional offices in Berlin and Luxembourg. The Brightpoint Group was established in 2015 as Brightpoint Fund Services GmbH initially focused on third-party fund administration for private-equity and venture-capital managers, and subsequently expanded into proprietary capital-raising activities under the Brightpoint Capital Invest brand. The group two operating segments are Brightpoint Services (fund administration, depositary services, AIFM and regulatory reporting) and Brightpoint Capital (alternative investment products and white-label investment structures). The firm is led by co-founders Maren Eckloff-Böhme (CEO and Managing Partner) and Mario Stefan Oelkers (President and Managing Partner), both formerly of e.ventures and Headline, supported by Marvin D. Andrä as Managing Director of the Luxembourg entity. Brightpoint Capital Invest GmbH is a registered BVK member. Aggregate AUM across the Brightpoint Capital franchise is not publicly disclosed; the flagship Tech Venture Growth Fund (TVGF) was launched with a target raise of €500 million at announcement in early 2022. Fund vehicles include the TVGF feeder structures organised as Luxembourg SICAV-RAIF vehicles with Brightpoint Capital GP S.à r.l. acting as managing general partner.

Investment thesis

Brightpoint Capital Invest flagship strategy is the Tech Venture Growth Fund, a European-anchored fund-of-funds providing private-bank and family-office investors access to a curated portfolio of leading European venture-capital managers. The thesis is explicitly to give European LPs a competitive alternative to large US fund-of-funds and direct-investment platforms that have historically dominated allocation to top-tier European VC general partners. The TVGF deploys capital into European venture-capital managers across early-stage, growth-stage and late-stage strategies, with the publicly referenced target-GP universe including Headline, Lakestar, HV Capital, Project A and Earlybird Venture Capital. Sectors are inherently diversified through the underlying GP commitments, covering enterprise software, fintech, marketplaces, deep-tech, climate-tech, healthtech and consumer technology across the broader European venture ecosystem. Geographic exposure is Europe-led with a Germany overweight reflecting the GP roster, complemented by underlying portfolio exposures across the United States and Asia. The limited partner base consists of private investors, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, semi-professional investors and professional institutional investors, with the firm deliberately structuring vehicles accessible at lower minimum tickets than typical institutional VC funds-of-funds. Value creation rests on GP-selection discipline drawing on the founders direct VC backgrounds at Headline, fund structuring via the in-house Luxembourg AIFM infrastructure, and ongoing portfolio monitoring leveraging the broader Brightpoint Fund Services operational platform.
