What we do
Deutsche Bank Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) is a cross-divisional & global activity to support startups and entrepreneurs across three dimensions:
Invest
We invest in startups and entrepreneurs around the globe in line with our mission to shape the future of financial services. We commit money, time and resources into our partners to enable growth and success. The CVC team explores new businesses and emerging technologies to drive growth in financial services.

Create & incubate
We work with Entrepreneurs-in-Residence to research and incubate transformational ideas and businesses. Entrepreneurs work alongside with Deutsche Bank experts with the goal to create independent businesses and entities based on key strategic and innovative topics that will revolutionise financial services. If you are an entrepreneur – with or without business idea – and are interested in learning more about the Entrepreneur-in-Residence programme, contact us to find out more: corporate.venture-capital@db.com
Grow
Deutsche Bank is committed to driving growth of its portfolio companies through active Business Development. Portfolio companies will have a dedicated manager, who will support them in their partnership with Deutsche Bank, provide access to subject matter experts, and scale their solution within the bank or externally. Portfolio companies also have access to exclusive Deutsche Bank CVC events, networking and key ecosystem players.
Why we do it
The Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) programme enables us to advance the bank’s commitment to technology and innovation. The CVC team focuses on strategic corporate venture capital investments in companies that use technology to support or enable banking and financial services, as well as investments into enterprise technology solutions that support our business.
Through our Corporate Venture Capital programme we can unlock strategic, financial and technological ROI by aligning our portfolio companies with the long-term objectives of the bank.
Deutsche Bank is committed to Diversity & Inclusion. Not only is Diversity & Inclusion an investment criteria for us, we are committed to helping our portfolio companies create a diversified leadership, board and strategy.
