Rudiger Kollmann

Dr. Rüdiger von Kollmann founded SOLUTIO AG in Munich in 1998 and today serves as Chairman of its Supervisory Board. SOLUTIO develops investment concepts tailored to the needs of German and Austrian institutional investors in real assets, partnering exclusively with managers it judges to have "proven outstanding success" and taking personal, hands-on involvement in the concepts it initiates. The firm is now headquartered in Grünwald, in the Munich film-studio district (Bavariafilmplatz 7), and its programs span private equity, infrastructure, private debt and real estate private debt.

Alongside SOLUTIO, von Kollmann has held senior roles in the German alternative-investment industry. He has served as Head of the Business Development Department (with power of attorney) and Managing Director of HANNOVER LEASING Treuhand-Vermögensverwaltung GmbH within HANNOVER LEASING GmbH & Co. KG in Munich, and earlier as Deputy Branch Director at Fundus Fonds Verwaltungen in Munich. Before entering the fund business he worked at reinsurer Munich RE (Münchener Rück), as a Country Consultant and Deputy Group Director in its East Asia Marketing Department.

He is an academically trained manager: he holds a management degree, an MBR, and a doctorate from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). He has appeared as a speaker on institutional real-asset and infrastructure investing (e.g., Terrapinn's Infrastructure Investment World Deutschland) and given interviews on SOLUTIO's private-markets strategy in the German venture/private-equity trade press (VentureCapital Magazin).

Importantly for founders evaluating him: SOLUTIO's business is structuring private-markets programs for institutions — feeding capital to established private equity, infrastructure and private-debt managers and co-investments — rather than writing individual seed checks into startups. No verifiable record of personal angel/seed-stage startup investments by von Kollmann was found in public sources.

• Builds institutional investment vehicles in real assets and private markets: private equity, infrastructure, private debt, and real estate private debt.
• Targets German- and Austrian-speaking (DACH) institutional investors — pension funds, insurers, banks, foundations — not founders directly.
• Manager selection is the core edge: SOLUTIO states it works "exclusively with managers that have demonstrated proven outstanding success," implying a strong track-record bar as the gate to a "yes."
• Emphasizes personal involvement in every concept the firm initiates rather than a broad, passive-allocation approach.
• Operates at fund/program scale for institutions — its SOLUTIO PERE / private-equity and infrastructure programs have historically raised hundreds of millions of euros — versus discrete early-stage angel tickets.
