PT1 is a venture capital firm that specializes in providing early-stage funding and support to technology startups. The firm is known for its focus on innovative companies and for its hands-on approach in helping entrepreneurs scale their businesses.

PT1 – Transformative real asset technologies

PT1 is a fully independent venture capital firm that focuses on pre-seed & seed investments in transformative real asset technologies. Real assets (real estate, infrastructure and energy) are undergoing a profound transformation caused by the increasing scarcity of natural resources, carbon budgets, square metres and skilled labour. PT1 invests in #Futurebuilders, startups benefitting from these megatrends by serving the high economic, social and political demand through scalable solutions.

Using its proprietary AI-enabled deal flow database, PT1 finds, funds and fosters real asset innovations. PT1 consists of a pan-European, entrepreneurial team that is supported by experienced Venture Partners with diverse backgrounds ranging from unicorn founders to industry veterans and investment experts, creating a rich pool of wisdom, track record and network. 

PT1 is part of ERIC Group, a platform that unites progressive minds making collective investments along transformational megatrends. Members include (U)HNWIs, successful entrepreneurs, forward-thinking corporate and institutional investors that aim to benefit in two dimensions from interacting with #Futurebuilders – financial ROI combined with inspiration, data and technology access for their own transformational journeys.

The first closing of our second fund is done at €44 million! 🍾

Our Fund II for #startup investments in transformative real estate technologies is now online and with the first closing, we have already reached more than three times the volume of the first closing of our first fund.

PT1 Early-Stage Fund II is now live and operational, so we're calling all innovative #Futurebuilders from across Europe that tackle the mega challenges of our time created by increasing scarcity of natural resources, affordable living space and skilled labour. Let's transform the built world together!

For the first closing, we welcome more prominent investors like  Helaba, Schörghuber Corporate Group, Halton Group or the returning Fund I investor noventic group, who are joining the already announced Commerz Real AG, BRUNATA-METRONA GmbH & Co. KG, evoreal GmbH, JLL Spark, Liechtenstein Group, OTTO WULFF, Scout24 Group and Supernova Invest GmbH. Once again, numerous entrepreneurs and top managers from the scene like Thomas Wiegand, Thomas Zinnöcker and Birgit Rahn-Werner have invested. Welcome to the family!

Last but not least, we're excited to announce the promotion of Konstantinos Matsoukas and Klara Ritter to Associate Partners, while Kingma Ma will lead our London office as Managing Director.

#Marketing Communication

Far too often, the voices from the centre of society are too quiet, leading to a public discourse that does more to divide us as Europeans rather than to enable an open, strong and competitive #Europe. This is why we are proud to be part of the #OpenTechEurope initiative.

🗳🇪🇺 This year, we have a unique opportunity to change things for the better. Between June 6 and 9 the citizens of 27 European countries will be called to the polls to elect the next European Parliament. The upcoming #EUElections2024 is the perfect time to ask ourselves a fundamental question: What kind of Europe do we want for the next 5 years?
Our answer is clear:

1️⃣ We want a powerful Europe that pursues ambitious long-term and non-negotiable objectives tied to international cooperation, more integration, a common defence, disruptive green policies and socio-economic development driven by #innovation and #technology.

2️⃣ We want a Europe that nurtures #democracy, #diversity and future generations, where every citizen and organisation has an equal chance to contribute to the policies that affect them.

3️⃣ We want a Europe where people and companies can succeed without having to move abroad.

Join us in this journey towards a stronger, more competitive, and inclusive Europe 👉 https://lnkd.in/dpH_iJpK

Great to be part of this year's GREENTECH FESTIVAL for the panel Greentech meets Construction & Real Estate - in collaboration with great host Martin Pietzonka from Drees & Sommer and further panelists Franziska Albrecht from Madaster and Hanna Huber, also representing Drees & Sommer. 

We are still at the beginning of a historic green transformation of the Built World and Europe's momentum is unprecedented. 

In summary:
➡ The use of technology and innovations are an important lever for contributing to greater sustainability.
➡ Sustainability and profitability are not contradictory; rather business models in the context of sustainability are currently highly demanded. 
➡ Circularity is a key driver of the construction industry of the future and the most innovative construction companies are already proactively looking at the future reuse of the materials being used.
➡ Corporates benefit from working with start-ups at an early stage or even investing as disruptive innovation tends to come from outside.
➡ Sustainability is generally a major driver of profitable business models as every company in Europe and, in the long term, worldwide has to address its emissions. 

\ PT1 Associate Partner Konstantinos Matsoukas spoke at the prestigious 80 Sekunden conference last week in Berlin

The 80 Sekunden - Neues Bauen (referring to the fact that every 80 seconds a new home needs to be completed in order to meet Germany's #construction goals) gathered key decision-makers from planning and construction, research, and politics, offering a 360° perspective on new construction methods in Berlin. The conference focused on pivotal topics like smart cities, cradle-to-cradle design, sustainable architecture, urban and spatial planning, land and space potential, approval processes, decentralised #energy production and water/energy/internet #infrastructure.

In his keynote, Konstantinos discussed market data indicating an impending return to normalcy amidst ongoing inflation. However, a much more pressing hazard does not simply vanish: the #climate crisis. He proposed that the next wave of unicorns will emerge at the intersection of the built world and #ClimateTech. With the EU representing both the largest early-stage ClimateTech funding pool as well as geographic area with excellent exit opportunities, there’s no better place to build a #startup than in the EU.

If you are a founder looking to tackle the crucial topic of climate and the built world, but unsure where to begin, start by exploring EU programs like the Green New Deal, as they provide a clear guidance on priority areas through 2030 and beyond. #survivetill55
