As of June 1, Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA will strengthen its management team with the addition of Julian Kappus, who was most recently responsible for the sale of structured finance products in Continental Europe at Bank of America. During his previous employment, Mr. Kappus worked closely with insurance companies, pension funds, and asset managers on their purchases and sales of alternative investments.

He therefore has a deep understanding of the institutional investor landscape in the DACH region, which already represents a significant and further growing part of LP commitments in venture capital. Furthermore, Mr. Kappus has previously co-founded a Berlin-based investor network and has extensive investment experience as a business angel.
