Investor at Cherry Ventures in Berlin, backing early-stage European founders building market-defining companies. A former strategy consultant at BCG and co-founder of Krisenchat, Germany’s largest youth mental health chat helpline, Julius brings a mix of operator background and Gen Z perspective to early-stage investing.
Julius assesses early-stage software through the eyes of a founder who scaled a high-stakes product before hitting age twenty. Having built Krisenchat from a blank slate into a nationwide support system handling real-time crisis traffic, he understands the sheer execution pressure required to make a digital service stick.
At Cherry Ventures, he works directly with founders navigating early talent moves, fundraising rounds and AI-driven market shifts. Drawing on his time at BCG and co-authoring work on Gen Z entrepreneurship, he provides young teams with the unfiltered playbook on shifting user habits, rapid product adoption and building software that resonates with the next generation of digital natives.
Catch up with Julius this October to hear how he evaluates the next wave of European founders.
