Cipio promotes Kirchheim to partner

The promotion comes around 18 months after Kirchheim joined Cipio’s investment team as venture partner from his role as partner at Germany-based early-stage and seed investor High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).

During his time at HTGF, Kirchheim was responsible for investments including cloud security platform Hornetsecurity, according to a statement. The VC sold its stake in the business July 2020 in a deal that saw Verdane and Providence Strategic Growth (PSG) invest in the company. According to LinkedIn, Kirchheim holds a board seat on Cipio portfolio company NavVis, a developer of 3D mapping and indoor navigation software for commercial buildings.

Earlier in May 2022, Cipio held a EUR 202m final close for Cipio Partners Fund VIII, as reported. The GP invests in growth capital and minority buyout deals, targeting companies with revenues of EUR 10m-50m. The firm targets technology companies in areas including B2B software, deeptech and consumer marketplaces.
