Project A Ventures (investor - Venture Capital)

Project A Ventures is an early-stage fund founded in Germany by former Rocket Internet managers - it aims to make investments in the fields of e-commerce & marketplaces, infrastructure & data and software as a service.

• Their differentiator is what they call operational VC resources, namely access to a team of 140 advisors available to the portfolio companies, wrapped up in an operational services unit led by Thuy Ngan Trinh and Stephan Schulze. The unit is a profit center though, as its services are sold on a man/hours basis.

• in 2025, Project A announced closing a $375 million fourth fund.
