Investments & Ventures
We invest in companies that we help build ourselves: with capital, entrepreneurial experience and time.
At a glance
Jens Schneiders · Your contactAlongside interim mandates, investments are the second pillar of Schneiders Ventures: we take stakes in companies, build our own ventures and work in both ourselves. What we bring often matters more than money in early and critical phases: operational experience, leadership and real hands-on work.
01
We take on roles and responsibility in the company instead of just reading reports.
02
We care about viable companies, not short-term returns.
03
For us, commercial success and social value belong together.
04
We talk openly about roles, expectations and who carries which responsibility.
Both grew out of Schneiders Ventures. We are not just shareholders there, we carry operational responsibility.

Jens Schneiders · Fractional Managing DirectorLoretta Schneiders · Fractional Head of FinanceWe do not commit to fixed criteria. Whether it fits is something we clarify in a personal conversation, above all with one question: can we make a real difference with capital and our own hands-on work?
01
Succession. You are looking for a solution that carries your company forward, with capital, leadership experience and respect for what you have built.
02
Growth. Your product works, but market access, structure or leadership are not keeping pace.
03
New venture. An idea or an internal project is to become a standalone company.
04
Turning point. Besides capital, your company needs someone who takes on responsibility.

Earlier companies and investments
Your plans, discussed openly.
A financial investor mainly provides capital and supports from a distance. We work in the company ourselves: in leadership, structure, finance or market entry, depending on what is missing at the time.
Yes. When owners are looking for a successor, an investment with hands-on involvement can be an option. What that looks like in each case is something we clarify together in conversation. How we support handovers on an interim basis is described under Business Succession.
We do not commit to fixed criteria such as industry, stage or size. What matters is whether we can make a real difference with capital and our own hands-on work, and whether we believe in the people and the business model.
No, they are two separate areas. An interim mandate does not require an investment, and vice versa. If one of our own ventures such as navyra could help in a mandate, this is optional, commissioned separately and disclosed openly.
The easiest way is the contact form below. Briefly describe your plans, and Jens Schneiders will get back to you personally.
