We are thrilled to be leading Tuum's €25m Series B round, and join the CEO Myles Bertrand and his team on this incredible ride!

At CommerzVentures we are experts in banking infrastructure. We believe that Tuum's core banking suite is addressing a deep, almost bottomless market opportunity.

We are excited to be investing alongside Speedinvest, Karma Ventures and Portage .

Our annual offsite in the mountains is coming up, and the key topic we will explore is "bias". 
💁♂️ In venture capital, we make decisions under uncertainty and with limited information. 

📈 Assessing the potential of a startup is partly subjective, involving predictions and judgments about market trends, competitive landscapes, and founder teams. 

❗ Therefore, it is easy for decisions to be influenced by individual and collective biases. 

🤔 As at CommerzVentures we aim to become a #biasfree.vc, we start by indentifying potential biases, how they can influence our judgment, and how to design a process that excludes biases as much as possible.

Stay tuned, as we embark on this journey!

Excited to share the latest funding numbers for #climatefintech. 

In H1 2023, funding rounds grew by 65%, despite a tough market backdrop.

The total volume of funds raised decreaded by 13%, whereas the broader fintech market saw a decline by more than a half.

At CommerzVentures, we look forward to continuing backing the trailblazers in #climatefintech. More than ever, the world needs the important work done by #climatefintech founders and their teams!

Congratulations to our portfolio company Volt.io on closing their $60 million Series B funding round!
