Daniel Dines
Founder & CEO

UiPath
“The first investor I met in 2014 was Dan Lupu from Earlybird. His genuine interaction and understanding of our tech and market potential dispelled my skepticism. Earlybird’s support, that now might seem trivial, from customer introductions to Series A connections, fueled UiPath’s transformation.”
Jonas Andrulis
Founder & CEO
·
Aleph Alpha
"Earlybird led our Series A in 2021, when the potential of generative AI was still unclear. Since then, the support, strategic perspective, and sharp technical understanding from Andre and the Earlybird team have exceeded my expectations, placing them at the top of my list of recommended partners.”
Valentin Stalf
Co-Founder & CEO
·
N26
"Earlybird VC has been a key partner for N26 from the very beginning. Their visionary mindset, deep market understanding, and strong network have played a significant role in our success."
Martin Kassing
Founder & CEO
·
Upvest
"From day one, Earlybird believed in our vision to grow from a niche idea to a market leader. Even when the path required bold investments, they stood by us. In critical moments, they weren’t just investors, they were true partners, backing us in every round with unwavering conviction."
Alexander Artopé
Co-Founder & CEO
·
smava
"Earlybird is, for me, one of the best VCs in the world. Without their support and expertise—especially from Christian Nagel—smava would not have become Germany’s leading consumer finance platform. Priceless!"
Moritz von der Linden
CEO
·
Marvel Fusion
"Leading our Series A and further backing our B round, Earlybird enabled Marvel Fusion to de-risk its fusion technology on the path to the first power plant. Having known Hendrik for over 20 years, it’s fantastic to partner with him and the Earlybird team on this mission to deliver clean energy."
Oskar Ziegler
Co-Founder & CEO

Hive Technologies
“Earlybird was one of our earliest believers, and we wouldn’t be anywhere where we are today without the incredible support of Tim and the entire Earlybird team over the years."

N26
"Earlybird VC has been a key partner for N26 from the very beginning. Their visionary mindset, deep market understanding, and strong network have played a significant role in our success."
Martin Kassing
Founder & CEO
·
Upvest
"From day one, Earlybird believed in our vision to grow from a niche idea to a market leader. Even when the path required bold investments, they stood by us. In critical moments, they weren’t just investors, they were true partners, backing us in every round with unwavering conviction."
Alexander Artopé
Co-Founder & CEO

smava
"Earlybird is, for me, one of the best VCs in the world. Without their support and expertise—especially from Christian Nagel—smava would not have become Germany’s leading consumer finance platform. Priceless!"
Moritz von der Linden
CEO
·
Marvel Fusion
"Leading our Series A and further backing our B round, Earlybird enabled Marvel Fusion to de-risk its fusion technology on the path to the first power plant. Having known Hendrik for over 20 years, it’s fantastic to partner with him and the Earlybird team on this mission to deliver clean energy."
Oskar Ziegler
Co-Founder & CEO
·
Hive Technologies
“Earlybird was one of our earliest believers, and we wouldn’t be anywhere where we are today without the incredible support of Tim and the entire Earlybird team over the years."
Daniel Dines
Founder & CEO
·
UiPath
“The first investor I met in 2014 was Dan Lupu from Earlybird. His genuine interaction and understanding of our tech and market potential dispelled my skepticism. Earlybird’s support, that now might seem trivial, from customer introductions to Series A connections, fueled UiPath’s transformation.”
Jonas Andrulis
Founder & CEO
·
Aleph Alpha
"Earlybird led our Series A in 2021, when the potential of generative AI was still unclear. Since then, the support, strategic perspective, and sharp technical understanding from Andre and the Earlybird team have exceeded my expectations, placing them at the top of my list of recommended partners.”
