Excited to share what I learned from Sandro Stark, founding partner at Vanagon Ventures backing FrontierTech from Munich/DACH 🚀 to the World at the YUVC video podcast (links in comments) 💡 Above all, Sandro is a super nice person to get along with and has a great NPS from founders 👋 Here 3 Core Takeaways ✨ 1. Vanagon’s approach to startup evaluation 👀 - Distribution capability is now the key differentiator, not just technical innovation - Customer "stickiness" and deep industry understanding - The solution must demonstrate both climate impact and profit potential 2. Why is Munich's ecosystem strategic? 🇩🇪 - Part of DACH region - third-largest market globally after China and US - Rich concentration of technical talent and corporate headquarters - Untapped potential in Mittelstand venture engagement 3. What's the philosophy behind sustainable success? 😉 - Don't postpone happiness for future achievements - True leadership creates more leaders, not followers - Consistent effort matters more than breakthrough moments Now listen in for more insights! ❤ Kudos to his great co-founders/GPs @Vanagon: Susanne Fromm Axel Roitzsch Shoutout to their amazing portfolios: Senken Particula Renoster youba The Landbanking Group LoopID heartstocks Learn.xyz ExoMatter and more

Honoured to be featured in the latest Tech Funding News article discussing Germany’s role as a leading tech hub. 🚀 I’m also proud to see standout companies from the Earlybird Venture Capital portfolio—N26, Marvel Fusion, Isar Aerospace, and others—highlighted alongside my alma mater, Technical University of Munich, which is another key driver of innovation in the country. While Germany is often dubbed the ‘Silicon Valley of Europe,’ there’s still much to do, such as overcoming regulatory challenges and channeling more growth funding into promising startups. My advice for those navigating the Central European startup landscape: Leverage government-backed funding, connect with business angels, and build relationships with established companies. Do not wait to build a global network early on. Together we can strengthen this ecosystem so that one day it can truly live up to its nickname.

Three biggest learnings from a fundraising journey. Shared by Rainer Märkle, General Partner at HV Capital at EUVC 1/ Have a time box with a deadline attached. Have a defined horizon & create a clear plan. Have some urgency to get things done at some point. Execute very transparently and reliably. 2/ Stick to your narrative. But don't do it blindly. Tweak it when necessary. Adapt it. Don't let yourself be surprised by major changes. Keep focusing on delivering according to your strategy & plan. 3/ Fundraising is a marathon with many sprints. There are moments when you'll ask yourself - Why do I do this? Is it gonna work out? But don't get too negative during the down phases. Adapting and pivoting is part of our job. As it is for the founder of a company. How about you? What fundraising lessons have you learned? Join the conversation. 🔽 #venturecapital #angelinvesting #startupfunding #europe

Dirk Hoerig shares how he’s overcome near-death business moments to lead commercetools to Centaur status, all while balancing family life. “This is it, we’re not going to make it next month,” – Dirk Hörig and his team had this same thought over and over again between 2010 and 2014. So, how did they go from this to becoming one of Germany’s only Centaurs? Today, Dirk gives us a peek behind the scenes of his journey building the game-changing e-commerce platform. When asked about his top achievements, Dirk says “Number one, would be not messing up the big opportunity we had—seizing it and not screwing it up. Number two is raising three great kids while building a company. And number three is disrupting a whole category that didn’t even exist before.” From sharing stories from the early days, when they had to fight so hard to survive, to today where the company has undergone impressive growth and success – Dirk has learned to embrace the ups and downs with a cool head. Dirk also talks about what’s kept him grounded - from squeezing in surf workations with friends to traveling with his family and playing sports with his kids. Read on to find out how Dirk finds that sweet spot between work and life; finding a way to lead a fast-growing business without losing sight of what really matters.

My guest for the next episode of the Venture Growth With Leon Eisen Podcast is Aatu Erik Horus, Aatu is a famous producer of AI-powered media solutions in Europe, US, and Asia and a managing director of the Industry Rockstar Films. His extensive global experience over the past decade includes collaborations with renowned personal brands such as Les Brown and Tony Robbins. Aatu has a proven track record in producing impactful brand films and crafting AI platforms that transform B2B sales and marketing strategies. With fluency in English, Mandarin Chinese, Thai, Finnish, and Nepali, Aatu bridges cultural divides, ensuring his team's work resonates globally. Operating across Nepal, Thailand, Venezuela, and Finland, with Bangkok as its hub, Aatu excels in creating immersive, educational, and audiovisual experiences that merge cultures and break down international barriers in media. Aatu helps businesses to create awe-inspiring experiences that immerse people into your company's brands and culture. 👉 Key takeaways: "I don't think you really understand any culture truly before you understand at least somewhat their language. Through languages, I got cultural understanding and through cultural understanding, you see how the world works." "It proves that any dream if you think about it and want it, you can realize it. You can create your future by yourself by dreaming about it." "AI drastically influenced my business; every step of the process of commercial production now includes AI. It makes things faster and allows you to focus more on the creative aspect instead of manual technical work." "We build platforms and apps for public speakers and educators, making them AI-powered to serve their audience better." "Instead of just watching videos in a course, our interactive online courses involve the user's input, making the learning process more engaging and delivering tangible results." "I don't believe in convincing clients. Not everybody needs what I offer. If somebody comes to me with a problem, I assess if it's a problem I can help them with." "The perception that the public has about you before they get in front of you matters greatly for selling high-ticket products. Branding is often underestimated but crucial." "Market your personal brand, not a corporate brand. Be yourself, talk about your weaknesses sometimes, and be honest. People can detect fakeness from miles away." ♻ Repost it to help others.

Did that moment just happen? Tokenization's Big Bang Moment... ⬇ Last week, KfW, a German state owned financial institution, became the world's biggest tokenized bond issuer. It issued over $4 billion in corporate bonds all natively on blockchain. But the significance is not in the headline numbers. Let's dive behind the numbers. 1️⃣ The $4 billion, world's largest, corporate bond issuance was issued via Deutsche Börse owned Clearstream's D7 digital securities platform and plugged into various traditional CDS. 2️⃣ On 4th July, a $100 million issuance was issued without a traditional CDS under The German Electronic Securities Act (eWpG). A crypto registrar instead of a CDS is required to issue and manage the issuance and communication of these tokens contains various business data and logic. 3️⃣ It is the first time that a digital native and digital only bond issuance is being recognized by law as official books of records. ➡ Even BlackRock's digitally natively issued MMF is required to have an offchain books of record and only the offchain record is legally recognized. ➡ And the parallel bookkeeping is one of major hurdles for institutional issuers to come onchain due to its prohibitive costs. So if this German model were to be adopted, will we see a sea change? I envision a future where digital bonds themselves are the official records of bookkeeping. This seemingly small issuance may be looked back on as the Big Bang moment for tokenized capital market deals in the financial history. I write about tokenization and digital asset management.
