🚀 German Investment Firm Lennertz & Co. Seeks $165 Million for Third Crypto Fund

According to Odaily, German investment firm Lennertz & Co. is aiming to raise $165 million for its third cryptocurrency fund. Oksana Tiedt, the head of fund investments at Lennertz, confirmed the fund has completed its first close but did not disclose specific figures. Founded in 2015, Lennertz & Co. is a multi-family office that invests in various asset classes, including private equity and traditional venture capital. The firm began exploring the blockchain sector around 2016 and launched a $35 million fund of funds in 2020 after privately investing in a fund. In 2022, it introduced a second $65 million fund. As a fund of funds, Lennertz does not directly invest in portfolio companies or token trades but rather invests in other firms, including well-known crypto venture capital firms like Multicoin, Polychain, and Hack VC. The second fund focused on generalist funds with crypto strategies, including Bain Capital, Lightspeed, and Andreessen Horowitz. With the third fund, Lennertz plans to invest in 8 to 10 blockchain-focused venture capital funds, some in Europe but mostly in the United States. Tiedt mentioned that Lennertz has already raised sufficient funds to invest in two funds, specifically Polychain and Bain Capital's crypto funds.
