About
Monkfish Equity is the investment vehicle of the trivago founders. TRVG was started in 2004 and went IPO with over 1 b$ in revenue on NASDAQ in 2016. It was then labelled one of the first real Unicorns in Germany. As Co-investors, with a focus on later stage phases, they invest in companies which can benefit from their entrepreneurial experience. As “low maintenance” investors, they offer the leeway that entrepreneurs need to build their businesses. So far, the Monkfish team has invested in over 50 start-ups in Europe, Asia, the US and South Africa.
