Marcus Köning

Marcus began his career in tech M&A, spending three years in the field before transitioning to venture capital, where he spent five years as part of the founding team of a EUR 100 million fund.

This fund focused on investing in SaaS and Enterprise companies, allowing Marcus to partner with incredible entrepreneurs and co-investors. During the pandemic, he started a SaaS business, which he wound down after 1.5 years, gaining invaluable experience along the way.

Marcus enjoys being on the ground to understand and deliver on the needs of existing customers and explore new market segments. He enjoys seeing teams unlock growth and establish a repeatable go-to-market strategy, and loves playing a small part in making that happen. He thrives on the energy and creativity that entrepreneurs bring to their ventures, finding immense reward in helping them navigate challenges and turn their visions into reality.

At Gilion, Marcus's mission is to enable data-driven financing for entrepreneurs and aligns perfectly with his personal goal to support the next generation of founders. His passion for supporting entrepreneurs and dedication to his work drive him to excel in his role.
