About Christoph Cordes
Christoph Cordes is based in Berlin. He is a co-founder and managing director of Flink, the Berlin quick-commerce grocery delivery company. WHU's alumni magazine lists him as a WHU graduate (Diplom, 2003) and says he co-founded Flink with Julian Dames. Crunchbase also lists him as a co-founder of Kaiora.
Before Flink he was a member of the management board and co-CEO at home24. Earlier, he was co-founder, CEO and managing director of Fashion For Home. Company registry data shows him as managing director of fashion4home GmbH from 2009 to 2012.
This page covers the Flink co-founder only. A lawyer named Dr. Christoph Cordes in Berlin, who works in IP and IT law, is a different person.
Crunchbase lists two personal investments for Christoph Cordes. They are the METYCLE seed round in December 2023 and the LawX seed round in May 2026. Tracxn also lists Zeitgold in his portfolio.
Press coverage of both rounds names him as an industry or tech angel and identifies him by his Flink role. He holds investments through a Berlin holding company, Cordes Invest UG, whose registered purpose is managing own assets, mainly shareholdings. The registry lists METYCLE GmbH among its shareholdings.
LawX is his AI round on the Lounge deals desk. It raised a €7.5M seed in May 2026. EU-Startups describes LawX as a Berlin company building an AI-powered operating system for notaries and law firms. Motive Partners led the round, with WENVEST Capital, xdeck and SIVentures also taking part. Cordes invested as one of several angels, alongside former Deutsche Bank board member Ralph Müller.
The public record is thin, with two disclosed rounds. Both were seed rounds in German companies. They cover industrial materials marketplace software (METYCLE) and legal AI (LawX), and Tracxn tags his sectors as enterprise applications and fintech. He has no public statements about check size or investment criteria, so we do not list any. Data providers do not publish his check amounts.
