As one of the first VCs in the European food industry, we invest in impact driven start-ups such as Oatly!, Air Up, Peas of Heaven and GoodBytz. Oyster Bay Funds focuses on start-ups along the food value chain from field to consumer goods to recycling and waste. The food industry is responsible for around a third of greenhouse gases - while also being the first sector to feel the effects of climate change. Harvests are deteriorating, soils are depleting and supply chains are breaking down. To change that we invest in Seed and Series A rounds. If you want to be part of that change – no matter if you are an investor or a startup founder – feel free to contact us.

About me

A broken neck showed me what I wanted!

I should have been paraplegic at 17 due to a kitesurfing accident. Instead, I can walk, have successfully founded and am now investing in sustainable start-ups along the food value chain.

It made me realize early on that I should not waste my valuable time on this planet.

Ultimately, it allowed me to follow my current path, which would probably have been very different without the incident: I completed a semester abroad at Harvard, founded the companies Berryjoy and purefood (with a successful exit), completed my M.Sc. in Management at HEC in Paris and, since mid-2022, I have been passing on knowledge and investment to promising start-ups in the food industry as part of Oyster Bay Venture Capital.

I don't beat around the bush, I give you clear answers and share what I know!
What you can expect from me as a start-up, founder, investor and job seeker:

+ Start-up experience
+ Fuckups & successes
+ Professional input for Start-ups
+ Potential for investors in the food segment
+ Insights into our work at Oyster Bay
+ Inisghts on one of the leading VCs in the German food scene

Feel free to continue reading my profile or follow/network with me - you can expect a few posts from me every week 🤙

PS: By the way, I never gave up kitesurfing 🏄🏻‍♂️
