It’s worked really well with Ninepointfive and Agfa as partners. They’ve got the balance right of being both supportive and hands-off. It’s been very easy to work with them.

Douglas Franklin

CEO, Penny Black

The Ninepointfive team don’t have a problem with rolling up their sleeves. Sitting with us, working, giving us advice, pushing us, telling us if we’re doing a good job. They’re hands-on and straightforward.

Fernando Martín

CEO, Eccocar

Since starting Makerverse, my life has gotten into fifth gear. Same for the joy I have for working with colleagues and our investor like Ninepointfive.

‍

Markus Seibold

CEO, Makerverse

The entire project was massively accelerated when Ninepointfive joined the table, and all the parties benefited greatly from having a venture capitalist with experience in working with corporates.

Claus Hermannstädter

Head of Additive Manufacturing Technology and Strategy at ZEISS

I believe Ninepointfive holds a unique, unprecedented position in the VC space: With their focus on corporate venturing – a joint model to share risks, upsides and challenges with corporations – they find and leverage opportunities that traditional VCs usually shy away from

Stefanie Huber

Director of Innovation Strategy, SAP

Although we are at the forefront of the energy transition, some crucial solutions will come from startups and scale-ups we don't know yet. Ninepointfive Tidal’s investment approach brings together like-minded stakeholders, allowing them to focus on their core business with front row seats to technology.

‍

Alexander Saverys

CEO, CMB.TECH

Ninepointfive had a network of other VC’s and crucial knowledge, such as investment structures and equity allocation models. Thanks to them, MakerVerse was able to secure an eight-digit seed funding.

Markus Berger-de Léon

Senior Partner Green Business Building, McKinsey & Company

We have seen Ninepointfive at work and appreciate how they add value by sharpening the value proposition of the venture.

The Tidal fund they are setting up now is a very needed answer to overcome the challenge of innovation getting to market in this sector. I appreciate how they bring the independent lens on value creation to complex settings

Leo Brand
