Christoph Janz

Managing Partner, Point Nine

About

Christoph Janz is a former repeat founder who built and sold two internet startups before co-founding Point Nine, where he deliberately narrowed his focus almost exclusively to SaaS and marketplaces to build unusually deep pattern recognition compared to more generalist VCs. He created the widely adopted Five ways to build a $100 million business animal metaphor (rabbits, deer, elephants, whales, mice) that has become a canonical way founders think about ACV, segment focus, and go-to-market trade-offs.
