Booom

Booom operates as a hyper-collaborative micro fund, strategically backing Europe’s B2B ecosystem. The firm deploys capital in pre-seed and seed rounds, typically issuing checks ranging from €100,000 to €400,000. Beyond capital, Booom differentiates itself by offering hands-on support and a robust network, positioning itself as a founder-centric partner. Their model is built on the premise of providing significant value per Euro invested, aiming to align interests and mitigate common startup challenges through direct engagement.

The firm was founded by Felix Plapperer, who serves as General Partner. The genesis of Booom stems from Plapperer’s extensive experience building a unicorn company, which included scaling to over 1000 employees and securing €400 million in capital. This prior journey instilled the critical insight that led to Booom’s creation: to leverage seasoned founder knowledge to guide nascent ventures, helping them navigate growth and avoid pitfalls encountered by earlier generations of startups.

Booom primarily targets early-stage B2B startups across Europe, with a particular focus on the supply chain sector as evidenced by its portfolio. The firm’s overarching vision is to foster the growth of Europe’s future B2B backbone, contributing to a vibrant entrepreneurial landscape. By combining strategic capital with practical, founder-derived wisdom, Booom aims to empower its portfolio companies to achieve substantial and sustainable impact.
