The Team
Operators, investors, entrepreneurs
— all three.
Our general partners bring complementary experience across company building, fund investing, and ecosystem development on both sides of the Atlantic.
Benedikt brings almost two decades of experience in the European venture ecosystem as both an entrepreneur and investor. He joined Rocket Internet in 2009 and went on to build four companies, most notably Helpling and Planetly, before serving as General Manager at OneTrust in the US. Over his career, he has raised USD 100M+ for his own companies and invested in over 50 startups and funds worldwide.
Karolina began her VC career at White Star Capital in New York in 2017, where she spent five years investing in Series A and B tech companies across North America. In 2022, she joined Credo Ventures, a top 1% CEE-focused pre-seed fund, as a General Partner. She led investments across different verticals from pre-seed to Series B, served on multiple boards, and is an active angel investor.
Yannick is an entrepreneur at heart, founding his first company, Elefunds, in 2011. His career has spanned entrepreneurship, digital strategy consulting, corporate venture building, and fund investing. He led blue-chip fund-of-funds investments at HenkelX, managed a corporate venture fund at Exxeta, and brings deep expertise in dual-use and defense technology.
