BERNDT Ventures builds businesses at the frontier of AI and agentic systems — as co-founder, first investor and hands-on operator, from zero to product.
Venture building at BERNDT is not a portfolio game. It is a small number of ventures, built with full operator commitment — capital, code and judgement in the same hands.
From the first idea to the first product: positioning, brand, technology and go-to-market — built, not delegated.
Skin in the game from day one. The first money in is BERNDT's own, aligned with the venture's long-term outcome.
Twenty years of marketplace and platform operating experience applied directly — product, engineering, data and scaling.
Ventures are built assuming AI agents do real work from day one — leaner teams, faster loops, structurally lower cost.
The same operating discipline BERNDT brings to enterprises applies to its own ventures: narrow scope, shipped product, honest metrics.
A sharp thesis, tested against real demand in weeks — not a business plan polished for months.
A real product in the market, built agentic-native with a deliberately small team.
Industrialise what demand proves. Stop what it doesn't — without ceremony.
Current venture: RWC — the robotic wine cellar. An app-controlled underground robotic wine cellar, currently in concept and prototype development.
The brand rests on a real track record: building and leading the technology behind some of Europe's largest digital marketplaces — at the level of the board and the P&L.
BERNDT Ventures builds AI-native and agentic-native businesses from zero — as co-founder, first investor and hands-on operator. The focus is a small number of ventures with full commitment, not a broad portfolio.
The current venture is RWC — an app-controlled underground robotic wine cellar, published by Berndt GmbH and currently in concept and prototype development at robotic-wine-cellar.com.
The focus is on ventures BERNDT co-founds and builds itself. Founders and partners with complementary ideas — especially around marketplaces, platforms and agentic AI — are welcome to get in touch.
