We are a group of friends and internet/tech entrepreneurs who first met in the late 2000s in Saarbruecker Strasse 21 in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg.
All of us started successful businesses, we are founders and share a passion for building great companies.
As active business angels, we invest in young startups, either individually or collectively as a group. We provide seed funding for killer-founders and great ideas. But way more important: we help you to avoid mistakes that we have already made (and yes, weve made a lot). We introduce you to the right people. We provide you with all the experience that we have. Not just talking about it but helping you hands-on.

PlusDental wants to give everyone the chance to show their most beautiful smile by democratizing the access to state-of-the-art dental care. We are one of the fastest-growing and most invested-in MedTech companies in Europe. Since our launch in 2017, we transitioned from being a startup to becoming a scaleup and want to continue using our momentum to grow our brand. With a strong foundation in the European startup scene and dynamic partners in dentistry we meet the highest medical standards and close the gap between aesthetic dentistry and modern technology.
Our Headquarter in Berlin is not only home to our Dental Lab with a team of over 150 dentists, dental technicians, and production staff, we also combine this medical excellence with almost 250 professionals with experience in fast scaling environments. We have a strong focus on our tech, data, and product teams which are active drivers in our success and a huge factor in our customer experience and the quality of our product.
We pride ourselves by building broad teams in marketing and hr, having honest and authentic relationships with our patients and employees alike. We are in touch with our quality management, having an inhouse customer care and sales team, making sure we are constantly aware of the needs of our patients.
In 2020 we not only raised €32 million in additional funding, we also conquered COVID-19 and still managed to maintain our growth. We treated over 35.000 patients and our clinic management and business development team supports 4 flagship clinics in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Frankfurt am Main and over 200 partner clinics in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, France, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Constantly expanding our network and building one of the biggest digital dentistry plattforms in Europe and China. We secured an addional €35 million in 2021.
