About Claus Rosenberg Gotthard
Claus Rosenberg Gotthard was born in Denmark in 1967. He founded his first full-time business, an international trading company, in 1993, and later opened an office in Moscow. His Russian facility-services business won a Small Business of the Year award from the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia in 2001. In 2003 he sold the facility service company to ISS A/S and the distribution business to Nilfisk-Advance A/S.
He later moved into renewable energy investments and founded S2 Development in 2011. From 2011 he was co-founder and CEO of Book'n'Bloom, a Facebook-based booking and business management tool for small businesses. It raised EUR 11.5M from Black Swan Venture Capital. He also ran the Startup Grind Madrid chapter.
He is now Founding Partner and CEO of Dovehouse Capital, a multi-strategy hedge fund registered in ADGM, Abu Dhabi. He co-founded it with Martin Rasmussen. Preqin dates the firm to 2024 and lists offices in Abu Dhabi and Copenhagen. He holds an Owner Management Program certificate from IE Business School.
Crunchbase describes him as a serial entrepreneur, venture builder, angel investor and mentor. It lists 2 investments and 2 portfolio companies, with no lead investments and no exits as an investor. A third-party profile says he advised and invested in MON Artworks, Trustedoctor, RefundMe, Floresymás.com and Host and Star. Dates, amounts and terms for these are not public.
His clearest AI-adjacent holding is Zetako, a Luxembourg deep-tech company founded in 2020. It builds lossless data compression and self-hosted data infrastructure. He was earlier its co-founder and CEO. Euroquity now lists him as Investor and Non-Executive Director.
Dovehouse Capital uses proprietary AI models and machine-learned heuristics in its trading. It is a market fund, and no public source shows it investing in AI startups.
No stage, sector or check-size preferences are published for his angel investing. His public writing now centres on markets, macro trends and Abu Dhabi as a base for funds. His past companies and holdings cover trading, enterprise software, SaaS, renewable energy and data infrastructure, across Denmark, Russia, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, the UAE and Luxembourg. Founders should treat his current focus as Dovehouse Capital, with startup investing as a side activity.
