BackingMinds

What they do

BackingMinds invests in entrepreneurs outside of homogeneous networks that traditional venture capital is missing and by doing so we believe we can make a great return. BackingMinds was founded in 2016 by Susanne Najafi and Sara Wimmercranz and is a VC firm that believes in the business of doing things differently. We look for entrepreneurs where others'​ don't. For us backing is more than capital. Backing is a mindset and backing is commitment and teaming up with founders. We invest in scalable, customer centric businesses with a proven revenue model.

What they look for

Their core thesis is "Backing blind spots." They believe that traditional venture capital misses massive opportunities by relying on homogeneous networks. By looking where others don't, they uncover untapped potential and generate strong returns.
