La Famiglia

La Famiglia is a European seed and growth-stage venture capital fund investing in technology companies that enable or disrupt large industries. Backed by a selection of world-leading entrepreneurs from various sectors, the firm provides early market access, impactful partnerships, and deep expertise to its portfolio companies. More than a traditional venture fund, La Famiglia serves as a trusted access platform, creating unique relationships between the old and new worlds, enabling differentiated leverage on capital. Their business angels and entrepreneurs work closely with founders to bring operational knowledge, while industry leaders and magnates from the 'old economy' contribute powerful global reach, capital, and scale. In 2025, La Famiglia closed its third seed fund with €165 million and its first growth fund with €90 million, aiming to double investments in emerging B2B giants in Europe and the US. The firm has invested in companies such as Deel, Personio, Forto, Y42, Sweep, and Buynomics. In 2024, La Famiglia joined forces with General Catalyst to enhance technological value creation in Europe and take their seed investment approach to the global stage. This partnership adds financial and platform resources to invest in promising European founders, aligning with their investment thesis of creating meaningful change by connecting the old and the new. The La Famiglia brand now forms the base for General Catalyst’s global seed program, allowing them to provide greater support and expertise to their joint portfolio.

La Famiglia's investment strategy focuses on sectors such as logistics and supply chain, infrastructure and data, retail and commerce, fintech and insurtech, and Industry 4.0. They pursue a horizontal focus on the future of work and sustainability. Their portfolio includes prominent seed investments like Deel, Personio, Forto, Y42, Sweep, and Buynomics. The firm is managed by Dr. Jeannette zu Fürstenberg and Judith Dada, who serve as managing directors. La Famiglia's headquarters are located at Schinkelplatz 4, 10117 Berlin, Germany.
