Summary
Andreas Klinger is a technical founder-turned-investor and solo GP based in Berlin with 13 years of experience building and scaling product and engineering teams at companies like Product Hunt, CoinList, AngelList and On Deck. He now invests globally through Prototype Capital, writing early checks into hard, hardware-rich, and frontier-tech startups—robotics, AI, computer vision, manufacturing and space among them. Andreas co-initiated EU–INC to create pan‑European legal infrastructure for startups, blending product instincts with policy and lobbying work rarely seen from founders. A hands-on former CTO who led the world’s largest regulated crypto airdrop at CoinList, he combines systems-level technical judgment with an operator’s appetite for ambitious, “weird” projects.
