CAN YOU GET THIS?

You need to be building an earliest-stage digital startup — industry and background don't filter you out.

YOUR REAL ODDS

APX is one of Europe's more active earliest-stage VCs, but competition for pre-seed Berlin-backed capital is high.

No acceptance rate is published. Being backed by Axel Springer and Porsche gives them resources to do many deals, but 'most ambitious' is their stated bar — expect a selective process.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Send your pitch to hello@apx.vc — 1–2 hours to prepare

  2. Founder and concept review by APX team — Days to weeks

  3. Meetings and due diligence — 2–6 weeks typical for pre-seed

WORTH KNOWING

APX describes itself as a 'long-term partner' and often invests as the very first check — if you have no lead investor yet, that framing works in your favor when pitching them.
