Investments & Shareholdings
Smart investments in diverse asset classes

Scale Ventures pushes ideas forward
The goal of Jens Wasel and the team at Scale Invest is to promote the start-up spirit in Germany, develop innovative business models and lead disruptive ideas to success. That is why we are constantly on the lookout for exciting opportunities to create maximum value with our knowledge and capital.
eCommerce
Scale Invest founder Jens Wasel’s home is clearly in the eCommerce sector. We remain true to the industry at heart, which is why our investments range from Unicorn SellerX to numerous D2C brands such as Happyglam or Little Boar.
EdTech
There is a special connection between our family office and the EdTech sector. For example, large parts of the proceeds from our investments benefit our own entrepreneurial academy Scale Apart. We are also actively involved in various educational programmes such as EWOR and Code University in Berlin.
HealthTech
Our belief in technology and the good in people connects Scale Ventures with the health tech industry #bepositive. That’s why we support startups like Careloop in the care and health sector.
PropTech
In the real estate sector, too, technical innovations are regularly introduced in order to keep up with the increasing diversity of ESG and financing regulations. For this reason, we also participate in innovative PropTech companies in addition to digital property management and energy consulting.
CleanTech
The importance of entrepreneurship in the field of climate change is eminent in our view. To maximise positive impact, Scale Ventures is building a number of companies in the solar, heat pump and sustainable mobility sectors #actlongterm.
