Overview

What they do
Spun off in March 2021 from Deutsche Leasing AG, vent.io operates with a unique dual mandate. They unite two business areas under one roof: Product Engineering and Corporate Venture Capital. On the engineering side, they build data-driven digital solutions, AI-powered products, and customer-centric portals for the Deutsche Leasing Group. On the CVC side, they invest in early-stage B2B startups and act as a strategic matchmaker, connecting innovative founders with the traditional German SME sector by leveraging Deutsche Leasing's massive network.
