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.
