We want to empower your Start-Up 

From Berlin to the world — founders backing founders to scale what’s next. European Champions.

 

With our values and founding experience, we are empowering a new EU generation of winners and innovators. Inception Capital Berlin Fund (ICBF) is the founders’ fund for founders.

 

Here, high-achieving entrepreneurs, award-winning founders, family offices, and investors become LPs, while a new generation of hands-on, Gen Z–minded GPs drive the future of technology. We focus on strategic technologies that Europe and Germany need to secure tech sovereignty — locally and globally. We back bold, visionary teams ready to scale fast. Beyond capital, we offer deep operational know-how, strategic insight, and a powerful, connected network that opens doors, creates partnerships, wins customers, scales businesses, and accelerates global expansion.

 

Our success is rooted in supporting female co-founders and diverse teams, alongside the most innovative founders and scalable business models.Backed by prominent serial founders, global leaders, top investors, and ecosystem builders in Germany, Europe, the US, and beyond, we deliver unrivaled access to corporate networks, CVCs, and public and private capital sources.

 

We partner with our portfolio companies to achieve significant milestones — together.

 

EUROPE NEEDS THIS. GERMANY NEEDS THIS.

Berlin, with its unmatched creative energy, is where we co-create the next generation of success stories.

 

Our approach:

​

• From Europe to the world: Founder LPs and Gen Z GPs combine local insight with diverse perspectives to scale category-leading companies.
   

• Founder-led, diversity-powered: We leverage hands-on networks to turn ambition into global leadership, with direct access to key markets.
   

• Providing founder capital: From pre-seed to Series A, we are backed by deep European roots and a global network to build market-leading businesses.
   

• In the trenches: We work side by side with founders — from the first strategic move to international market leadership.
