About Andreas Schenk
Andreas Schenk is a Partner at Alstin Capital in the Greater Munich area. According to PitchBook, he is an economist who studied at BiTS Iserlohn, with periods in the USA and Scotland. He earned a PhD at the Universidad Europea de Madrid, where he published on crowdfunding and on spinoffs from small and medium-sized enterprises.
Crunchbase lists him as Investment Manager at EnjoyVenture from 2010 to 2019 and Venture Partner for digital technologies at Seventure Partners from 2019 to 2023. He joined Alstin in 2023. PitchBook also lists a role as Investment Manager at Hannoverimpuls, where he was responsible for portfolio companies in the Invest-Impuls funds, including Qnips, ByeBuy, Newstore, Tripod Technology and Tutanota.
Public databases list few personal angel deals. PitchBook records one investment, CouchCommerce, dated September 2013, from his EnjoyVenture period. A former colleague describes working with him from 2012 on that deal. Tracxn and Nordic9 list one angel investment, ShopAgentic in 2026.
Most of his investing history is institutional rather than personal, through EnjoyVenture, Seventure and Alstin.
In June 2026 he took part in ShopAgentic's €1.9M pre-seed. May Ventures and Greenfield Capital co-led the round, and a group of commerce-focused angels joined. ShopAgentic is a Hannover-based startup building a native agentic commerce system. It uses specialized AI agents so brands and retailers can sell in AI-driven buying channels without replatforming.
He also speaks publicly on AI investing. LinkedIn shows him discussing foundation models and the AI market at the smart AI Council and in a Investments & Exits session with his Alstin colleague Benjamin Kleinschnitz.
In a LinkedIn post about joining Alstin, he wrote that he would stay in Seed and Series A, mainly B2B software. Tracxn lists his sectors as Retail and Enterprise Applications and his geography as Germany, based on the one recorded deal. He has not published a personal check size, so none is given here.
