Florian Burchett (Angel)
This investor operates as an individual operator-angel and family office with about 20-30 investments across various stages, while also investing through the Berlin-Brandenburg Business Angel Club, where his father-in-law serves on the board. Not a structured fund, he writes small personal tickets below the typical 250K+ VC event positioning, but can deploy larger amounts via the club. He takes a founder-first approach, backing ambitious, visionary, and passionate founders—ideally with a MINT background—who are solving real-world problems with a charismatic founder as the face. Sector-agnostic across tech, engineering, climate, and deep/nerdy fields, he explicitly avoids e-commerce. He provides value as a company-building angel, bringing expertise in business-model design, translating deep tech into a business case, storytelling, and go-to-market strategy. While not a hard criterion, he prefers investments in Germany within a day-trip by train, such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Dresden.
