The Reimann Investor’s portfolio includes various start-ups and digital companies. Part of the portfolio is the Swedish FinTech Klarna, which recently made headlines by taking over the competitor BillPay for allegedly 70 million euros. Klarna itself now has a value of more than € 2.3 billion. Other well-known investments of the Reimanns are Keller Sports, Alphapet or the Deutsche Handelsbank.
