Alstin Capital
No summary available yet.
Alstin is the B2B software fund equivalent of a well-connected sales veteran who actually knows how to scale companies post-investment. Maschmeyer's AWD background gives them real operational chops in building enterprise sales machines, not just writing checks. Their €175M Fund III oversubscription and 90% LP retention speaks to actual returns, not just marketing. The team genuinely shows up at every relevant European SaaS conference and seems to know the ecosystem inside out. However, this is very much Maschmeyer's show - he's the brand and the deal flow. The focus on DACH region means they understand local market dynamics but may lack Silicon Valley-style growth mentality for truly global scaling.

- —Watch out for: Heavy dependence on Maschmeyer's personal brand and network
