Speedinvest is one of Europe's most active early-stage venture capital firms, founded in 2011 by Oliver Holle and headquartered in Vienna, Austria, with additional offices in Berlin, London, Munich, and Paris across EMEA. The firm invests from pre-seed and seed through selective growth stages, writing typical early-stage checks of roughly EUR 500K to EUR 3M (and up to around $10M in later rounds), and manages more than EUR 1.2 billion in assets under management. Speedinvest runs a specialist model built around dedicated sector teams rather than generalists: AI & Infra, Climate Tech & Industrial Tech, Deep Tech, Fintech & DeFi, Health & Bio, Marketplaces & Consumer, Growth, and Middle East, Africa & Beyond. Its "many move more" thesis pairs early capital with hands-on operational support, talent, customer introductions, and a global follow-on network. The firm backs technical founders across Europe and beyond, with a portfolio of 400+ companies including Bitpanda, Tide, GoStudent, Wayflyer, Curve, Adverity, Bitmovin, CoachHub, and Prewave.
Every Speedinvest company that ships an API, scored the way a machine reads it — a European seed book that learned to publish contracts before it learned to govern or prove them.

The 287 portfolio companies with APIs in the catalog, backed by
Speedinvest, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from
the catalog — nothing here is written.
A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the
“Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own
coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.
