Built to last_
Made to grow_

We back founders and businesses with the capital, conviction and entrepreneurial mindset to build something that endures - beyond the next quarter, beyond the next fund cycle.

About our fund_

We invest in two ways - directly into companies we can actively shape, and into funds run by managers who invest the same way we do.

The team_

Julia Lang

Julia comes from an entrepreneurial family background and leads all investment activities at Rhyme Capital. As one of the first members of Tengelmann´s direct investment team, she helped build the investment strategy and team from the ground up - gaining experience across both venture and growth investments, including buy-and-build concepts. Over the years, she sourced, structured and actively supported companies from first check through to exit, with a strong focus on consumer-close business models and a hands-on approach that goes well beyond capital - from board work to commercial strategy to being a genuine sparring partner when it matters most.

Chris Hymer

Christian´s track record spans both sides of the table - as heir to the Erwin Hymer Group and as founder of several ventures (e.g. UniBev, Stilt, Studios and Grün Resorts). He brings a long-term perspective shaped by building businesses across consumer, hospitality and technology, and a deep belief that the best investments are built on trust, patience and real operational understanding.
