Falkensteiner Ventures
We invest in travel and hospitality technology
Pre-seed and seed. 26 VC investments since 2019 across hospitality software, distribution, alternative accommodation and payments.
What we look for
Four areas. If your company sits in one of them, we're probably worth a conversation.
Hospitality software
PMS, guest-facing automation, revenue and yield tools.
Travel infrastructure
B2B distribution, OTAs, payments, predictive pricing, loyalty.
We co-invest or lead at pre-seed and seed. We invest primarily in Europe, with selected investments in Asia and the US where we know the market.
Alternative accommodation
Vacation rentals, camping, RVs, fractional and asset-light models.
Experiences and food service
Tours & activities, wellness, procurement and supply chain for gastronomy.
How we work
We were operators before we became investors. We bring introductions to hotel groups and operators who take the call, co-investors who know the sector, and pattern recognition from investing only in this industry.
Every form submission receives a written response, including those we decline.
