The US consumer market is one of the largest and wealthiest in the world, making it highly attractive to Consumer-Tech-Startups and Venture Capital Investors. ❤️ 🤍 💙 🌎 Even though Best Nights VC is a Berlin-based VC, we follow a global approach and invest in consumer tech startups that bridge online and offline experiences, with a focus on culture, nightlife, and community building around the world. Our managing director, Lorrain de Silva, recently shared insights with Sifted on why expanding to the US was a natural move for BNVC. With 35% of our portfolio already US-based, we’re tapping into the country’s ability to propel startups globally—especially in nightlife and consumer tech. Alex Brees, CEO of un:hurd music, and Jennifer Lewis, CEO of Lex, also shared their perspectives on how BNVC’s growing US presence is accelerating their growth and unlocking new opportunities. Determined to make our first mark on site, we’re hosting a Best Night in L.A. on October 23rd, bringing together tech innovators, culture creators, and investors from both sides of the Atlantic.

We recently hosted our second Portfolio Day at Jägermeister’s iconic HQ in Wolfenbüttel! Best Nights VC brought together founders from around the world, including some traveling from as far as Kenya and Colombia. 🌍 The event provided an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Jägermeister’s rich heritage, while also fostering stronger connections between our startups and the brand—paving the way for future synergies and mutual growth. Our Managing Director, Lorrain de Silva, introduced Christina, Bianca, Robert, Andrea, and Adrian from the Best Nights VC team and shared our mission with Jägermeister. This was followed by inspiring presentations from our founders, who shared their unique startup journeys. In collaboration with the Jägermeister team, we hosted various workshops and sessions exploring exciting opportunities for innovation and partnership during our synergy sessions. We also had the honor of hearing a “reverse pitch” by key leaders in Jägermeister’s global brand strategy, Susanna, Sven, Kai & Gunar, giving us deeper insight into Jägermeisters approach to experiential, digital and insights strategy. Of course, no Best Nights VC event is complete without a BEST NIGHT! We wrapped up the day with a legendary celebration at the iconic Jägermeister Guesthouse bar, bringing an unforgettable close to a successful day of sessions. 🥂 A big thank you to Mast-Jägermeister SE for facilitating this special Portfolio Day at the Headquarters!

Best Nights VC has been featured in a Resident Advisor article discussing the challenges of finding the right investors for tech-enabled nightlife businesses.

Our Managing Director, Lorrain, emphasizes that at Best Nights VC, we are committed to empowering mission-driven entrepreneurs who place culture, purpose, and community at the forefront of their ventures. As Resident Advisor highlights, we've invested in companies like SOUNDBOKS, Togather, Woov and of course many more to help build a sustainable future for nightlife around the globe.
