CapitalG (Google - Europe)

Capnamic is a Cologne, Germany-based venture capital firm focused on seed and Series A investments in B2B software, logistics technology, industrial tech, and enterprise SaaS companies primarily in the German-speaking European market. The firm was founded by Jörg Binnenbrücker and invests from approximately EUR 1 million to EUR 5 million at initial stages in companies building scalable digital infrastructure and software solutions for large and complex industries. Capnamic positions itself as an operator-friendly, hands-on seed investor that leverages its deep roots in the German business ecosystem to help portfolio companies navigate enterprise sales cycles, build relationships with large German corporate customers, and scale their operations across the DACH region and into broader European markets. The German technology ecosystem, while historically more conservative than the UK or the Nordics, has produced a growing cohort of venture-scale B2B software companies in logistics, manufacturing, mobility, and climate sectors. Portfolio companies include Forto, the digital freight forwarding platform that simplifies and digitizes logistics supply chain management for importers and exporters; Sennder, the digital full-truckload freight platform connecting shippers with truckers across Europe; 1Komma5, the energy transition platform helping homeowners and businesses install solar panels, EV chargers, and heat pumps; and Blacklane, the professional chauffeur service platform operating globally. Beyond its original investments in Forto, Sennder, 1Komma5, and Blacklane, the portfolio includes additional German and European B2B software and logistics technology companies.
