ABOUT US

BC & the VCs front woman, Bryony Cooper (BC), runs a Venture Capital fund. Formerly a professional singer, she recorded 3 original albums. Bryony met Christoph Raethke – a VIP in the Berlin startup scene – in 2012, when she relocated from London to launch a mobility startup. He became a great friend and mentor, introducing her to other musos on the scene.

​

Together they recruited talent from their networks, featuring some leading names from Germany's startup and investor ecosystem. When Nikolas Samios joined the band, he brought with him not only kick-ass keyboard and blues harp skills, but also a homegrown, fully equipped studio. He has his finger on the pulse of the latest music tech.

​

When we're not busy closing funding rounds and building companies, you'll find us jamming at PropTech House in Kreuzberg, Berlin.
