BaseTech Ventures AG was founded in 2012 by brothers Roland and Gerald Tauchner. The successful entrepreneurial duo brings together their extensive experience in the technology sector under the umbrella of the holding company, investing in a healthy mix of companies from various industries based on their solid expertise. With a focus on sustainable value management, their motto is to be as focused as possible, while being as diversified as necessary.
The global rise of a self-made Family Business
The brothers Roland and Gerald Tauchner have practically built from scratch and on their own an internationally successful group of companies over the past 25 years, generating nine-digit revenues.
From bold pioneers to confident navigators in the dynamic technology landscape.
Already in the early 2000s, the entrepreneurial duo made a name for themselves with visionary ideas and a first-mover mentality in the area of SMS and mobile payment. In the following years, the brothers continuously developed their group of companies through foresighted decisions in line with technological progress, and navigated it confidently through the stormy times of technological change. And they have done so successfully – and exclusively family-owned – to this day.
Experienced serial entrepreneurs at the forefront of time
There is no end in sight to their success story. Roland and Gerald Tauchner remain committed to actively shaping the future with new innovations. With their majority stake in DINAPE Solutions GmbH, they have taken the next bold step in building a technology for the faster development and easier operation of highly complex software systems. Their goal is to assist companies in swiftly implementing digital ideas with cutting-edge technology, enabling them to grow successfully and stay ahead of the curve.
