Overview

What they do
Founded in 2018, Aschendorff NEXT operates as the digital corporate investment holding for the Münster-based Aschendorff Group. The firm pursues a dual strategy: making strategic investments in digital services that support SMEs and purely financial venture investments in high-growth, scalable digital startups. Beyond direct equity investments, they have expanded their ecosystem by launching the "NEXT Investors Club" to syndicate deals with regional business angels. They also co-launched "lab 1720", an incubator/accelerator program run in partnership with 1648 Factory to build and scale companies from scratch.
