A Breakfast on Purpose! 💜 Traveling from conference to conference, we keep running into the same issue: never enough time to truly connect with people we care about nor to discover new encounters in a meaningful way. So, we asked ourselves: What if we created a format to bring people together? No panels. No slides. Just a group of individuals sharing stories, goals, and why they do what they do. A space to connect. Intimate in size. Diverse in perspective. Aligned by purpose. Valuable for everyone in the room. 👉🏽 The result: Breakfast on Purpose this past Wednesday in Berlin with Gabriele Patzschke, Stefanie Unger, Prof. Dr. Heike Marita Hölzner, Katharina Kurz, Anna Fedulow, Mili Romano, Ference Brose, Jan Voss, Lutz Kettner, Nikolaus Widmann, Henrik Piroth, Steffen Seifarth, Pawel Netreba, Sesij Dag, Joerg Meiner, Felix Brandts, Xavier Sarras, and Laurent-Frederic Lohmann Big thanks to Felix Brandts, Founder of PEAK Hospitality Group, who generously made Scirocco Bistro available to us. This was just the beginning. More On Purpose gatherings are already in the works. In the next months, we will be heading to #Munich, #Paris, and #Hamburg. If you’d like attend or know somebody who should, tag them or leave a comment. Thank you for joining us and for sharing your purpose. We look forward to many more moments like this. #OnPurpose #4PCapital #BreakfastOnPurpose

🚀 Let’s talk about the KfW… Without a doubt: the KfW plays a central role in Europe’s innovation ecosystem. As one of the key drivers of government-backed investments into VC funds, Start-Ups and SME’s, they ensure that European innovation, particularly in high-tech and climate, remains competitive on the global stage. By actively investing as an LP in VC Funds across Europe through KfW Capital, they send a powerful signal to private investors, demonstrating confidence in our ecosystem. Their Emerging Manager Vehicle further highlights the critical role young VC funds play in modern, data-driven investment strategies. These anchor investments lay the groundwork for private LPs—like family offices and institutional investors—to confidently back these funds. Given their pivotal role in shaping the future of venture capital, we were grateful that Xavier Sarras, Founding Partner of 4P Capital, was recognized by KfW Capital as Best Impact Investor 2024. A few weeks ago, the KfW team visited our Frankfurt office to interview Xavier about the journey of founding 4P Capital - See for yourself! A huge congratulations to the other award winners featured namely our friends and colleagues Juliane Hahn (Signature Ventures) – Best Female Investor and Dr. Isabella Fandrych & Maximilian Schwarz (Nucleus Capital) – Best Emerging Manager. It’s a privilege to stand alongside such outstanding leaders in the European venture landscape. cc Sonja Höpfner I Vera Elizabeth B.
