Sven Eppert serves as both Chief Financial Officer and Partner at b2venture.

‍

Originally from the Ruhrgebiet in Germany, Sven first joined the firm back in 2004, where he helped lead the transition of the firm from a pure business angel platform into establishing its first dedicated venture capital fund. 

‍

Coming to b2venture straight after his business degree at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Sven was part of the team investing in companies such as SumUp, DeepL, Blacklane, and Finanzcheck, as well as executing numerous trade sales and other transactions across the seed and growth stage.

‍

Sven left b2venture in 2013 to focus on developing tech ventures and business development for a number of Swiss companies, including DKB Household, SwissCommerce, and as a partner at i5invest, where he focused on M&A for European technology companies.

In 2019 b2venture welcomed Sven back to the group. He took over responsibility for the Managed Partner Fund for a Swiss family Office, in which he manages 40+ portfolio companies across life sciences and digital technology space.

‍

Sven has an abiding interest and passion for design, especially furniture design, and has sat on numerous advisory boards.

“I’ve accompanied companies from the seed stage, through scaling up their value proposition, up to their successful exit. I’m always fascinated by the transformation, especially in the strategic and operational capabilities required over that lifetime. It never gets old because every company and every market is different.”
