Clear in communication
Direct, transparent and easy to align with — no fog around status, risks or decisions.
IPP Ventures · Investment GmbH
IPP Investment GmbH invests selectively in fields we know deeply — adding value not just financially, but through hands-on support in strategy, execution and regulatory reality checks.
Our decision criterion
We back founders who work pragmatically and goal-driven — and who treat compliance as a constraint to manage intelligently, not to fall in love with.
Direct, transparent and easy to align with — no fog around status, risks or decisions.
Willing to decide, adapt when facts change, and keep moving without losing sight of the objective.
They take regulatory requirements seriously, stay audit-ready, and keep delivering real value to patients and customers.
Why Easy13485 matters to us
When investing in startups, we strongly prefer companies that operate within the Easy13485 Makerspace. It gives us confidence that the fundamentals of quality and regulatory compliance are in place from the start — reducing the risk of hidden regulatory gaps that derail timelines, budgets and valuations.
To date, we have experienced a 0% failure rate across our investments. We encourage every investor to read the MedTech De-Risking Guide to understand how regulatory execution risk is reduced in practice.
Investments
We invest where operational excellence meets honest regulatory work. These are companies that treat compliance as part of their product — not a hurdle to clear at the end.
Surgical instruments Sketch-to-Scale®, since 1920. From CAD design and prototyping to robot-assisted series production — everything in one hand, made in Germany. One of Germany's fastest-growing mid-size companies in 2026. What stands out: a manufacturing process where quality is lived, not explained. At Hipp & Sohn, regulatory work is never left to the last hour.
Digital respiratory therapy for COPD and asthma — app, coaching, symptom diary, ZPP-certified, designed for statutory reimbursement. A clinically rigorous product that doesn't shy away from the path through payers and approval. That's exactly where IPP can and wants to contribute.
Digital care programme for chronic inflammatory bowel disease — Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. ZPP-certified, up to 100% covered by statutory health insurance. A small team that doesn't work around regulatory obstacles — it solves them. That's rare, and that's exactly what makes it interesting.
Accelerator and ecosystem for health startups in the Ruhr region — supporting teams through build and growth phases. Direct access to early-stage companies before the regulatory groundwork gets laid the wrong way. IPP is present here because good regulatory practice has to start early.
Nanotechnology CDMO: dendritic nanocarriers, contract synthesis, GMP small-batch manufacturing for pharma and cosmetics. Deep technology expertise combined with a regulatory maturity that is unusually well-developed for a Berlin deeptech company of this size.

IPP Investment GmbH is a focused investor in medtech ventures. We invest selectively in fields we know deeply, where we can add value efficiently if needed, not just financially but also through hands-on support in strategy, execution, and regulatory reality checks.
When investing in startups, we strongly prefer companies that operate within the Easy13485 Makerspace. The reason is simple: it gives us confidence that the fundamentals of quality and regulatory compliance are in place from the start, reducing the risk of hidden regulatory gaps that can derail timelines, budgets, and valuations.
We encourage every investor to read the Med-Tech De-Risking Guide. We have experienced a 0% failure rate in our investments. Of course, you do not win a market with compliance, but you sure can lose it.
Our most important decision criterion is the team. We back founders who work in a pragmatic and goal-driven way: clear in communication, fast in decision-making, and willing to adapt when facts change without losing sight of the objective. They understand regulatory requirements and take them seriously, but they do not “fall in love” with regulation. Compliance is treated as a constraint to manage intelligently, so the company can move quickly, stay audit-ready, and deliver real value to patients and customers.
