Let's grow together.
ROI VENTURES is a family office focused on early-stage investing in technology-driven B2B startups and consumer goods brands across Europe. Besides investing, we built our own consumer brand, BALI CURLS, where we learned how retail brands scale from the inside.
In consumer goods, we especially want to back standout brands that work well in retail, with angel and pre-seed tickets of up to €500k. Beyond early-stage funding, we are interested in growth and secondary opportunities for companies with more than €5M in revenue.
Calculated risk is our specialty. We think rationally and in probabilities, and we are comfortable making early bets and backing people first. We make fast and bold decisions and provide hands-on support from day one, whether through our investor and corporate network, preparing for a retail launch, or finding the right marketing channel. We look forward to building something great together.

Who is
ROI VENTURES?
Laura Raggl
Being a reliable partner who accompanies startup founders through their first or second investment round is my main motivation. With my experience as previous Managing Director of Austrian Angel Investors Association and roles in the venture capital scene I build a broad network, and as a result I am confidently capable of supporting startups in the best possible way.
Superpower: Networking Expert
Julian Sachs
Having started as an entrepreneur before moving to the investor side myself, my personal drive is to co-create new innovations and to help founders get to the next level. Besides start-ups, I am fascinated about real estate.
Superpower: Problem Solver
Don't swim with the current, address things straightforwardly - courtesy shouldn’t hold you back. As an entrepreneur, I realized that out-of-the box approaches are the best way to get things done, and that's the message I hope to pass on to other founders.
Superpower: Rational Thinker
Patrick Funke
Be inspired by each other and grow together. Through good partnerships between investors and startups, competencies and contacts can be shared and multiplied. Progress and new perspectives fascinate me and I am absolutely convinced that this passion is essential as an angel investor.
Superpower: Strategic Decision Maker
Marco Raggl
Taking on different roles within early-stage startups in the past, I know how many things have to line up at once. When one is off, the rest suffer, so I help founders get all the pieces to fit. I bring an entrepreneur’s mindset, a strong network in the ecosystem, and a research-driven curiosity, with the goal of building growth that lasts.
