The partner you meet is the partner who runs it.
Technology Return is led by its Managing Partner. A mandate therefore carries the same responsibility and seniority from pitch through close.
Managing Partner Jens Nolden.
Twenty years in the transaction and growth segment, from family office, venture capital, and private equity to the capital markets.
Jens comes from a family of entrepreneurs; he has built, managed, and invested in growth companies himself. The result is entrepreneurial consulting on an equal footing for discerning clients, backed by first-class references.
He founded Technology Return in 2013, 101 Deals in 2023 and co-founded Aixeos in 2025. Before that, he spent several years as a partner at Parklane, worked at Lizard Enterprises in Hong Kong, co-founded Pebble Entertainment, served on the board of IQ Capital, worked in corporate finance at Versatel, and held other roles.
His work spans M&A and corporate finance, venture capital and private equity, equity research, portfolio and fund management and family office advisory, alongside his own angel investments. He holds a master's in economics from the University of Münster and studied economics at UCLA.
