Lakestar’s mission is to find, fund and grow disrup­tive businesses –
enab­led by tech­no­logy – that are foun­ded by excep­tio­nal entre­pre­neurs in Europe and beyond. Foun­ded by Klaus Hommels, the team’s early investments
include Skype, Spotify, Face­book and Airbnb. Since raising its first fund in 2013, Lake­star has mana­ged an aggre­ga­ted volume of over € 1.5 bn across three earlys­tage funds, a growth fund and a SPAC.
