World-class Founders

“Any early-stage investor will tell you that the founding team is the most important criteria, but quantifying talent has been difficult. By combining behavioral psychology and artificial intelligence, Morphais is on its way to solving this problem.“

Oliver
Pabst
General Partner at Redalpine

“Morphais streamlines the investment value chain and brings novel innovation to the industry.“

Charles
Fraenkl
CEO at Smartfrog & Canary Group

“An approach to venture capital unlike anything out there: Quick, transparent and zero headaches.“

Marc-Alexander
Christ
Co-Founder of SumUp

“We certainly need less biased VC decisions and more technology-driven approaches like Morphais to identify talent for what it is.“

Chanyu
Xu
Founder & CEO her1

“Entry barriers to VC are disproportionately high for diverse founders, despite their proven potential. Through their technology, Morphais finds and nurtures often overlooked talent and breaks down those barriers.“
