superangels — Leveraging Technology for Early-Stage Investment Excellence

Superangels, a Munich-based early-stage technology fund, was co-founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Franzi, Alex, and Florian.

Their journey from being individual investors to creating a formal fund structure highlights how tech-driven efficiency and a strategic network of industry experts can transform the investment process.

Superangels' unique approach lies in its partnership with 21 'superangels'—experts handpicked from a pool of over 200 business angels based on their industry knowledge, portfolio performance, and founder credibility.

With the fund focused on sectors like climate tech, HR tech, and prop tech, these angels contribute both expertise and capital, with superangels matching their investment tickets, ensuring high-quality deal flow.

The Role of Technology in Fund Operations

Running the fund with just three partners meant that technology was crucial to scaling operations efficiently. For superangels, Vestlane’s platform enabled them to streamline complex tasks, particularly in fundraising and investor onboarding.

According to Franzi, the platform "helped us tremendously, especially in onboarding LPs quickly and efficiently", eliminating much of the manual work that could have slowed down their fundraising efforts.

If I had to onboard LPs manually, we’d probably have half the investors. Vestlane has been a game-changer for us.

Superangels also praised the user experience, highlighting how intuitive the platform was for both LPs and the founding team.

We've had LPs who had used Vestlane before—it was literally one click for them. That’s the kind of seamless onboarding every fund manager dreams of.

Additionally, Vestlane helped superangels maintain focus on what truly mattered—building relationships and creating value, not getting bogged down in admin.

The automated processes saved precious time, allowing the team to dedicate more energy to deal sourcing, investor relations, and strategic growth.

A Future Built on Collaboration and Tech Innovation

Looking ahead, Franzi emphasized the importance of cooperation across the private market and noted how Vestlane could play a pivotal role in connecting fund managers and LPs in new and innovative ways. With the goal of continuous fundraising and future funds in mind, superangels is eager to leverage technology further to expand its investor base and keep building on its early successes.

Fundraising is never over. Vestlane offers a foundation that will make it easier to grow our network, especially as we prepare for our next fund.

Superangels continues to deliver exceptional returns by partnering with top-tier business angels and aligning itself with their future investments.

The firm’s strategy of mirroring these angels' decisions ensures they are always involved in high-quality deals with strong growth potential, while technology enables seamless execution.
