Johannes is a serial entrepreneur and an early pioneer of impact venture capital in Europe. Together with his team at Ananda in Munich, Berlin, and London, he manages more than 300m USD, investing in technology-driven companies across climate, health, and education - backing category-defining “impact unicorns.”

Beyond his professional role as a fund manager, Johannes is also a private investor who actively deploys his own capital for impact. His engagement ranges from venture investments to philanthropy and hands-on, long-term commitments - such as helping to build a sustainable school, where impact is measured not in IRR, but in lives shaped over decades.

For Johannes, impact investing is not just a strategy - it is a personal practice. For many years, he has been deeply interested in the intersection of entrepreneurship, capital allocation, and personal mastery, believing that sustainable companies are ultimately built by self-aware, values-driven founders. This perspective shapes not only how he invests, but how he supports and challenges the teams he backs.

Johannes brings a rare combination of institutional rigor, entrepreneurial experience, and personal conviction - making him a thoughtful, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable voice in the global impact investing conversation.
