Manfred von Richthofen
"I am driven by learning about exciting companies and business models, and by contributing to the commercialisation of innovative and disruptive solutions."
Areas of focus
GreenTech, with a particular focus on DeepTech, industry, LogTech and FoodTech. I look for disruptive and profitable business models that contribute to a better world.
What I look for when investing
I look for signs of product–market fit and business models where green innovation also creates commercial value for all stakeholders.
Previous experience
I have around ten years of experience from large companies such as Arla Foods and ICA – in marketing, sales, purchasing and category management. In addition, I have been an active entrepreneur for seven years and also worked as Head of Sales at the impact company Too Good To Go.
Switching between experiences from large corporations, scaleups and startups is what excites me in my role as Investment Manager at Almi Invest GreenTech.
Board assignments and education
Board member of portfolio company Velove Bikes AB.
Portfolio companies
A selection of the companies Manfred works with.
Helping entrepreneurs and fantastic companies make a difference every day is what motivates me. Success arises when a sustainable and innovative business model is also profitable – that’s when it gets really exciting!
