Head of Venture Capital
NRW.VentureCheck size: Up to €15M across financing rounds; EU Tech&Scale can provide up to €30M for eligible scale-ups.
Dr. Claas Heise invests or supports investment decisions through NRW.Venture's published strategy: Co-invest in innovative NRW companies that have completed seed, angel or initial VC financing across technology, life sciences, climate and digital markets.
Growth-oriented NRW teams with innovative business models, qualified private co-investors and strong technology or market differentiation.
Companies outside North Rhine-Westphalia, without private co-investment or before the published financing prerequisites are less aligned.
Show NRW eligibility, prior financing, co-investor plan, innovation, market potential, capital needs across rounds and the minority-equity fit.
