Overview
What they do
Founded in December 2021, Twip Impact Ventures is a unique joint venture created by two prominent German software engineering companies, MaibornWolff and QAware. Positioned as a strategic tech investor, Twip addresses a common bottleneck for early-stage founders: the lack of technical resources and engineering manpower. Instead of writing cash checks, Twip invests "sweat equity" by providing dedicated software development, IT architecture consulting, and tech recruiting support in exchange for equity. They are highly regarded in the DACH ecosystem for their deep technical due diligence and their strict adherence to impact investing, exclusively backing startups that contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

What they look for
Twip's thesis is centered on empowering Europe-based startups (Seed to Series A) whose core business relies on digital software and who have a clear mission to contribute to a better tomorrow. They believe that by mitigating technical risk and accelerating time-to-market through expert engineering, they can significantly increase the success rate and valuation of impact-driven companies.
