About Christian Leybold

Christian Leybold is a Co-Founder and Managing Partner (now titled Founding and General Partner) at Headline, the firm formerly known as e.ventures, where he launched the European presence after gaining venture capital experience in Silicon Valley. He invests primarily in early-stage technology companies, focusing on Series A rounds within the consumer internet, digital healthcare, marketplaces, and enterprise software sectors across Europe and the US. While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not explicitly detailed in available sources, his focus on Series A suggests he typically participates in early growth financing. Notable portfolio companies include Blinkist (acquired by Go1), Farfetch (NYSE: FTCH), CityDeal (acquired by Groupon), and Natural Cycles, reflecting his strength in consumer and healthcare ventures. Leybold distinguishes his perspective by comparing his role to a “Catholic priest who has spent time in the Vatican,” noting he learned the American VC style in Silicon Valley before building Headline in Europe. He holds a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign a
