Possible Ventures

Possible Ventures is a venture capital firm established in 2013, initially operating as Inventures Collective before rebranding to better articulate its commitment to supporting early-stage innovators. The firm is globally oriented, with its main headquarters in Munich, Germany, and a significant operational presence in Melbourne, Australia, where its Australian founder and General Partner, Chris Hitchen, is based. Possible Ventures is dedicated to backing ambitious, mission-driven teams leveraging frontier technology to address humanity's most pressing challenges across climate, energy, health, and societal issues.

At its core, Possible Ventures employs a 'founder-first ethos,' distinguished by rapid decision-making and flexible investment ticket sizes. This approach aims to provide meaningful capital to founders while strategically leaving room for other investors to participate. The firm operates on a microfund strategy and a co-operative fund model, which effectively leverages a global collective of experienced 'operator angels'. These angels contribute not only financial capital but also invaluable operating experience, extensive networks, and hard-earned entrepreneurial wisdom, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for their portfolio companies.

Possible Ventures primarily focuses on pre-seed and seed rounds, though it remains open to considering later-stage companies that align with its core investment strategy and demonstrate substantial growth potential. Their investment philosophy is centred on supporting solutions in critical areas such as carbon capture, energy transition, food and agriculture, new materials, circular economy initiatives, space exploration, advanced drug discovery, precision medicine, AI-supported software tools, financial inclusion, and upskilling for a more equitable future. They specifically target deep tech, life sciences, and software platforms that are unlocking unprecedented innovation through interdisciplinary approaches.

Led by Australian entrepreneur Chris Hitchen, who has a proven track record of building and exiting technology businesses, the firm's leadership team also includes Thyra Seitz as Partner and COO, Dr. Christoph Baumeister as Partner, and Simon Betschel as Operating Partner for Asia-Pacific deal flow. Possible Ventures boasts an impressive portfolio of over 190 investments across numerous companies, with notable successes including Sorare, Anydesk, Immutable, and Marvel Fusion, many of which have achieved unicorn status. Their relentless optimism and belief in technology's power to create a better future underscore their unique identity in the venture capital landscape, consistently seeking out what's possible rather than merely probable.
