Bennet Barth

Bennet is a deep-tech investor and venture builder. He backs the hardware-first companies — across energy, industry and materials — that European competitiveness and resilience now depend on.

As Co-Founder and Managing Director of RESPOND, he built a European program that helps these companies cross from technology to commercial scale — from early-stage acceleration to a Scaleup Program he designed for companies entering commercial deployment. At the BMW Foundation he invests as an LP into European deep-tech and climate funds.

For nearly a decade his focus has stayed the same: getting capital and commercial support to the technically hard companies that matter for Europe’s industrial future.
