SAP Ventures

SAP Ventures helps build industry-leading companies by partnering with outstanding entrepreneurs and top-tier venture capital firms. They are information technology investors who focus on enterprise products and services. In the 10 years since it was founded by Hasso Plattner, Chairman and co-Founder of SAP AG, SAP Ventures has invested in over 100 companies.

The six person investment team has more than 60 years of combined software experience as operators, entrepreneurs, industry analysts and investors. They have over 35 years of direct investing experience. The entire team believes in involving themselves deeply with their companies.

They evaluate information technology opportunities across all stages and emphasize investing in solutions and services sold to enterprises.

SAP Ventures identify investment opportunities in a variety of ways. For example, they will develop investment themes and areas of related interest in which they proactively seek new businesses. They respond to entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who understand the value that can bring to an investment to be part of a financing round.
