to About Us
KSS Ventures
The cornerstone was set in 2013 by Robin Stegemann & Lasse Schmitt when they founded Stegemann & Schmitt as a consulting and seed investment company. After six years of operation and company building, the serial entrepreneur, company owner and investor Alexander Köhler joined the company and lifted S&S on the stage of a serious venture fund: KSS was born and is investing in sustainable & problemsolving ideas and start-ups across D-A-CH.

How it works
Long story short. We are following a simple framework
how we get in contact with a potential idea or start-up.
01
Start with a Consultation
Even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step – a great conversation.
We are eager to meet you and are inviting you to schedule an appointment with us.
By giving you a short overview about our framework, network and support possibility, we draw a bigger picture how your idea could grow with us. Tell us about yourself, your idea & your mission and we might start our next (early stage) venture with us.
02
Create a Strategy
In cooperation with the founders, we are creating an investment plan & define important milestones in order to achieve the best outcome of the idea or product.
03
Implement a great Team
We invest both – money and human capital – because good ideas need a strong team to be successful.
We analyse the current founding team and – if necessary – support it with important knowledge and missing human resources.
04
Manage & Succeed
Based on the right strategy, the necessary funding & a great team, we are supporting, managing & evaluating the business ongoing and helping the founders to succeed the best way possible.
