Julian Teicke

Overview
Julian Teicke is a German serial entrepreneur and technology founder, best known as a co-founder of wefox, the Berlin-based insurtech that became one of Europe's most highly valued digital insurance companies. He is also the co-founder and executive chairman of The Delta, a venture studio through which he has built and backed a portfolio of technology startups. He is a recognisable figure in the German and wider European startup ecosystem, associated with large-scale venture building and with the growth of digital insurance in Europe.
Why this entity matters
Teicke is one of the more prominent founders of the Berlin technology scene because he combined operating a high-growth insurtech with a systematic venture-building model. wefox became a reference point for how European founders approached the digitisation of insurance distribution, drawing substantial venture capital and reaching a multi-billion-dollar valuation. His parallel role at The Delta positions him within the ecosystem not only as a company builder but as a backer and enabler of other founders across Europe and Africa.
Career, company, or institutional background
Born in Berlin in 1986, Teicke studied business administration at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. He began his career in the Rocket Internet and Groupon company-building network, helping launch operations across several markets, and co-founded the Swiss e-commerce company DeinDeal, which was sold to the media group Ringier in 2015. In 2015 he co-founded wefox with Fabian Wesemann and Dario Fazlic and led it as chief executive, raising several large funding rounds and reaching a valuation of about 4.5 billion US dollars at its peak.
Role in the startup, technology, investment, or innovation ecosystem
Teicke built wefox through The Delta, the venture studio he co-founded and chairs, which has launched and supported startups including Kenjo, doctorly, luca, handly and dao across Europe and Africa. In 2024, as part of a broader restructuring, he moved from chief executive to a non-executive role as President and vice chair of wefox's board of directors, with a former Allianz executive appointed to lead the company. The transition allowed him to focus on overall strategy and on supporting new founders through The Delta.
Selected relationships and affiliations
Teicke co-founded wefox with Fabian Wesemann and Dario Fazlic and remains associated with the company through its board. Through The Delta he is connected to the founders and teams of its portfolio ventures. His earlier career links him to the Rocket Internet and Groupon company-building networks and to the media group Ringier through the sale of DeinDeal.
