Paris / Munich, 1 October 2024 – Hi inov, a leading Franco-German venture capital firm, welcomes Julius Jürging as a new partner. With his extensive experience in venture capital, he will significantly strengthen Hi inov’s German team and further expand its activities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Julius brings profound investment expertise and an exceptional talent for identifying growth opportunities and high-potential founder teams to the company. His investment approach focuses on developing innovative products that solve real problems and enabling these products to enter the market.
His extensive experience in international expansion is particularly valuable: several of his portfolio companies have already succeeded in growing rapidly internationally after establishing themselves in the local market. His comprehensive understanding of the various phases – whether founding, growth or exit – will play a central part in the expansion of Hi inov’s investment activities in Germany.
Dr. Wolfgang Krause, Managing Partner at Hi inov, is pleased with the addition to the German team: “Julius’ international experience in early-stage VC investments and startup scaling, especially in Europe and the USA, is exactly what startups need to succeed in the global market. With his strong background in venture capital, he is a great asset to our team.”
His experience in the B2B SaaS solutions sector fits perfectly with Hi inov’s core sectors, which include Cyber, Climate Tech, Data, Compliance, and New Work.
“I look forward to playing a key role in supporting Hi inov in expanding its investment activities in the DACH region. Together, we will build successful startups that use their innovative prowess to create global market leaders from Europe”, says Julius Jürging.
