Andreas Klinger

Andreas Klinger runs PROTOTYPE, an early-stage venture fund backing European frontier tech. Before moving into investing, he led engineering teams as CTO at Product Hunt and AngelList.

He believes Europe can be the best place on earth to build hardware. Beyond funding radical founders, Andreas builds community through his YouTube channel and pushes ecosystem initiatives like the policy movement EU-INC and the robotics network ESRA. His talks often explore whether European regulation acts as a barrier or a hidden competitive advantage.
