i5invest

i5invest is one of Vienna's most established startup investment firms, co-founded by Hansi Hansmann, Austria's most prominent business angel. The firm provides early-stage capital, strategic advice, and hands-on mentorship to Austrian and European startups with global ambitions.

Hansi Hansmann has been recognised as Austria's most active and influential angel investor, with investments in companies like Shpock (sold to Schibsted), Runtastic (sold to Adidas), mySugr (sold to Roche), and Durchblicker. His portfolio represents some of Austria's most notable startup exits.

i5invest bridges the gap between angel investing and institutional VC, providing founders with patient capital, deep Austrian ecosystem connections, and the credibility that comes from backing by the country's most successful startup investor.

Mission: We provide early-stage capital and mentorship from Austria's most prominent angel investor — building global companies from Vienna since the ecosystem's earliest days.
