Capital that understands your innovation.
We translate technology into an investment logic owner capital can carry, whether it rests on patents, software or a business model the market hasn't seen yet.
What we do
299,8 Capital is a capital advisory boutique based in Berlin. We support innovative entrepreneurs across the DACH region in raising capital from family offices: technology becomes investment logic, suitable family offices are curated and approached individually, the process is run through to closing and supported beyond, to exit. We are mandated by founders. Family offices receive pre-qualified opportunities from us that match their investment mandate.

The investor process in detail.
Our core product: four steps, each with a clear outcome. This is how we work together: with the depth capital decisions require.
Investor Strategy & Approach
North star, exit scenarios and market dynamics become a coherent storyline, with company roadmap and commercial roadmap as the foundation.
Investor Curation & Selection
Market sounding and investor research lead to the curated list: family offices that invest in your field and think in decades.
Teaser & Qualification
Finalising the data room, qualification on both sides and a high-quality approach to well-curated investors.
Investor Outreach & Closing
Investor conversations, term sheet, negotiation and closing. We understand both sides of the table.
How we handle confidential material.
You hand us your most sensitive material. How we handle it is documented and verifiable.
Confidentiality before the first document
We sign a confidentiality agreement before you hand us any material. Every disclosure is released by you.
Your material stays in your hands
Protected data room in the EU, access logged. At the end of the mandate we delete or hand back your material.
A few, individually curated family offices
We approach selected family offices individually, with individual narratives. You decide who sees what, and when.

Raising capital from family offices: the questions founders ask us first.
Answered briefly and without detours. Whatever is missing here, we clarify in the intro call.
F-01What does 299,8 Capital do?+
299,8 Capital is a capital advisory boutique based in Berlin. We support innovative entrepreneurs across the DACH region in raising capital from family offices: we translate the technology into an investment logic, curate suitable family offices and run the process through to closing, and beyond, to exit.
F-02Which companies is 299,8 Capital the right partner for?+
Technology companies with a genuine, defensible innovation at the core of the business model, patented or otherwise protected, and a capital need for industrialisation and durable growth. Typical fields: MedTech, DeepTech, AI, FinTech, CyberSecurity. The prerequisite is a founding team with real domain depth and operating responsibility.
F-03What is the difference between family-office capital and venture capital?+
Family offices invest their own wealth without a fund term. They think in decades rather than fund cycles, need no forced exit after 7–10 years and decide entrepreneurially rather than by portfolio logic. In return they are hard to find, work discreetly and expect an approach that matches their field and investment logic. That approach is exactly our work.
F-04How do I find family offices that invest in my company?+
Public lists rarely help: family offices seldom publish their investment criteria. We work with a curated network of family offices across DACH, built over 15 years, and qualify both ways: which family office invests in your field, at your stage, with your time horizon, and does it fit you as an entrepreneur? Only a few addresses are approached, individually and with an individual narrative.
F-05How does the investor process at 299,8 Capital work?+
In four gates, each with a clear outcome: G-00 Investor Strategy & Approach (storyline, company and commercial roadmap), G-01 Investor Curation & Selection (market sounding, curated list), G-02 Teaser & Qualification (teaser, data room, two-way qualification) and G-03 Investor Outreach & Closing (introductions, conversations, term sheet, negotiation, closing). Growth support through to exit follows.
F-06What is the Readiness Sprint?+
The Readiness Sprint is the entry point to working together: a time-boxed module with a fixed fee in which we work through your innovation, its defensibility and your capital story and translate them into an investment logic owner capital can carry. The outcome, narrative, model and data-room structure, stays with you and carries beyond this round.
F-07What does working with 299,8 Capital cost?+
The intro call and the written assessment within two working days are free of charge. The Readiness Sprint is offered with a defined scope and a fixed fee. The terms for the subsequent investor mandate are set out in writing before the mandate starts, transparent and without hidden costs.
F-08Is 299,8 Capital a fund, an investor or an advisor?+
An advisor, more precisely, a capital advisory boutique. We do not invest ourselves and do not manage third-party assets. We provide advisory and structuring services; no investment advice, brokerage or portfolio management within the meaning of the German KWG/WpIG. Where activities require a licence we work with licensed partners.
F-09How does 299,8 Capital handle confidential material?+
A confidentiality agreement before the first document. A protected data room in the EU with logged access. Every disclosure to a family office is released by you individually. At the end of the mandate your material is deleted or handed back.
F-10How do I start, and how quickly do I get an assessment?+
Via the contact form at the end of this page or by e-mail to kontakt@2998capital.com. Within two working days you receive a written assessment: if there is a fit, a proposal for the Readiness Sprint; otherwise concrete notes on what makes the difference.
45 minutes. An open conversation.
