Founded in Berlin in 2011 by Christoph Janz and Pawel Chudzinski, spinning out of Team Europe. It became Europe's reference seed fund for B2B SaaS, with a global portfolio unusual for a fund of its size.
Seed-only ("v0.9 stage", just before product-market fit), small focused fund, SaaS metrics-driven, invests worldwide from Berlin.
B2B SaaS and B2B marketplaces
Zendesk, Delivery Hero, Algolia, Contentful, Loom, Typeform, Revolut
Zendesk IPO, Delivery Hero IPO, Loom ($975M to Atlassian)
The name "Point Nine" means version 0.9, the moment just before a startup hits 1.0/product-market fit; Janz's napkin sketch "Five ways to build a $100M SaaS business" is seed-stage canon.
