The entrepreneur behind the holding.
Vincent Sünderhauf doesn't back founders from a distance. He has been one himself. Over 20 years of entrepreneurship, four books and more than 21 investments shape how he invests today.
From founder to investor.
In 2006 Vincent Sünderhauf founded seosupport GmbH, one of Germany's first SEO agencies. Many more ventures followed, among them the employer-branding agency CatchMeIfYouCan, a reach agency specialised in social media and, most recently, food.agency, a specialist agency for food and beverage brands in the DACH region.
Over more than 20 years he has built a Europe-wide reputation as an expert in online visibility, online reputation and digital branding. Today he advises companies, brands and CEOs on becoming the leader in their field.
In parallel he has invested in the early stage for years: more than 21 startup investments, with capital as well as in an advisory role. What he expects from investors he has lived through as a founder himself, and seen through several successful exits.
Recognised. And widely published.
