Overview
What they do
Founded by Bettine Schmitz and Dr. Gesa Miczaika, Auxxo is Germany’s first gender-specific venture capital fund, built entirely around closing the persistent gender funding gap in the European venture ecosystem. The firm is highly regarded for its strong institutional backing, including the European Investment Fund (EIF), and a unique capital structure where over 50% of its Limited Partners are women. Auxxo positions itself as a highly supportive, founder-friendly investor, bringing a "community of abundance mindset" and a "feminist changemaker movement" to the cap table, acting as a vital bridge between female founders and traditional institutional capital.

What they look for
Auxxo invests in the strongest pre-seed and seed-stage startups in Europe that have at least one female founder. Their mission is to drive the equitable participation of women as founders and investors in venture capital, powered by network, experience, and wholeheartedness. They have a strict, non-negotiable threshold: the startup must have at least one female founder who holds a minimum of 20% of the founding shares to ensure genuine influence and decision-making power.
