Peter Lasinger

High-conviction, founder-first Series A investor: Peter co‑founded 3VC to back a very small number of high-potential European technology companies and supports them hands‑on through Series A and beyond. 3VC emphasizes quality over quantity (roughly 3–4 investments per year), writes meaningful follow-on checks and has scaled from a ~$50M first fund to a larger €150M / $157M follow-on fund. three+3

Technical and academic foundations inform investment thesis: Peter holds a PhD (summa cum laude) in business informatics / IT & business administration and has published academic work on adaptive advertising and encrypted XML indexing. This technical research background underpins his interest in ML/AI, adaptive systems and developer/platform-focused startups. three+2

Operator and founder experience before investing: He founded a SaaS company during his studies and worked in Accenture's IT strategy & M&A practice as well as on projects for Lufthansa — experiences that give him operational empathy and practical playbooks for supporting founders during growth and M&A. three+1

Backer of category-defining European startups: Through 3VC and prior roles he has backed or supported companies that became leaders or achieved exits — notable names frequently mentioned in association with his investing include Assaia, Kaia Health, Lokalise, Storyblok, Picsart and DeepCode (now part of Snyk). three+2

Disciplined, lifelong learner with personal disciplines that mirror his work ethic: beyond academia and VC, Peter trains in Tae Kwon Do (black belt & instructor) and plays piano — both of which he cites as lifelong pursuits that reinforce discipline, practice and continuous improvement. three
