About Kizoo Technology Capital
Kizoo Technology Capital is a venture firm in Karlsruhe, Germany. PitchBook dates its founding to 1999, while Dealroom gives 2000. Waveup names Michael Greve, Frank Schueler and Matthias Hornberger as founders, and places the firm within the Mira Holding group alongside the Forever Healthy Foundation. Dealroom lists Michael Greve as CEO and founder and Heiko Schneefeld as managing director. Waveup names Patrick Burgermeister as a partner. Its main vehicle, the Kizoo Technology Fund, is reported at about $348 million by PitchBook and about $349 million by Waveup. A 2022 article quoted the firm as investing €300 million across biotech companies.
Public sources I could access describe the firm's focus as rejuvenation biotechnology and longevity, not artificial intelligence. I found no published AI thesis, AI-specific fund, or deal labelled as AI. Founders building AI products should expect the firm's stated focus to sit outside AI. The internet services and digital communication focus in this profile's summary does not appear in the sources I found.
Sources describe the firm as providing mentoring, seed and early-stage financing, with some pointing to follow-on funding. Caplight records the firm as lead on a January 2024 seed round for Reservoir Neuroscience and a November 2023 seed round for Mogling Bio. One aggregator reports Series A as its most common stage, but this is not confirmed elsewhere. Typical check sizes are not public.
