FTTF (Fund I) Portfolio
Portfolio spotlights
Logistikbude GmbH, Dortmund
Solving challenges with reusable assets
Logistikbude automates and streamlines the most annoying process in logistics. The use of reusable assets (e.g. pallets, mesh boxes, containers, racks, IBCs and everything that is used between companies) causes high personnel costs due to documentation, booking and coordination. Shrinkage and slow turnaround times also result in high costs in the form of repurchase and capital commitment. Logistikbude's software combines all reusable assets in one standard solution.
Nagel-Group, a leading logistics provider is relying on Logistikbude for its digital real-time management of reusable items such as pallets or Euroboxes at all 130 company locations.

Quantum Optics Jena GmbH (QOJ), Jena
Secure communications with Quantum entanglement
QOJ offers the first commercial entanglement-based QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) solution – an extremely secure way of creating and sending encryption keys. This ensures highly protected communications and exchange of data between two or more parties.
This is not only relevant in the age of Quantum, but also already now, e.g. to i) avoid current data breaches ii) counter the storage of encrypted data to decipher it later.
There is a high likelihood that in the future QKD will become a necessity for any entity that needs or provides safe communication infrastructure (e.g. telecom, finance, utilities, military, healthcare).
Highline Technology GmbH, Freiburg
Next generation dispensing production technology
HighLine develops high-precision printing technology for the semiconductor industry. The current focus is on dispensing technology for the metallization of solar cells. The dispensing print heads enable the parallel and homogeneous printing of conductor tracks <30µm. This enables significant material savings (silver!) and high throughputs.
Variolytics GmbH, Stuttgart
Enabling net-zero wastewater treatment
