What day is it again? Oh right, it's #FinanceDay! 💸   We had the opportunity to participate in the insightful pharma & biotech panel at #FinanceDayLeipzig, where industry leaders, including our very own Andreas Kastenbauer, shared their expertise alongside Andreas Schmidt (PhD.) (Springboard Health Angels), Dr. Manja Epping (Taylor Wessing Germany), and Joachim Vogt (AbbVie).   Key takeaways:   💡 Andreas emphasized the importance of aligning investors and founders on valuation and exit strategies. He also highlighted how rNPV shall guide founders in any kind of deal from out licensing to M&A. He pointed out the challenges in M&A, especially in balancing earn-outs with upfront payments and advised founders not to out license their lead products.    💼 Dr. Manja Epping spoke on the complexities of deal structuring with pharma, stressing the need for transparency early on and preparing for potential M&A scenarios. Every asset deal requires flexibility and careful handling of transitional solutions.   🔬 Joachim Vogt touched on the long-term nature of pharma partnerships, noting that trust and alignment on technology are key. Once the right foundation is set, exits can happen quickly when timing and chemistry align.   🤖 Andreas Schmidt (PhD.) discussed the paradigm shift in life sciences, driven by data science and globalization. He stressed the need for different mindsets and skill sets depending on geographic exit paths, and how collaboration is critical for startups’ growth.   A fantastic discussion on the future of #pharma and #biotech Plattform Life Sciences! 🧬

Wrapped up the MIG Capital VC Summit 2024 in the best way possible: hiking up the Hahnenkamm and enjoying a summit breakfast with the whole crew at Restaurant Hochkitzbühel 🏞️🍳 It was the perfect way to reflect on all the insights, connections, and shared experiences from the past few days. 🔑 Final thoughts: •⁠ ⁠The VC landscape is constantly evolving, and staying ahead means adapting fast. •⁠ ⁠Building strong relationships is just as important as finding great startups. •⁠ ⁠Sometimes, the best ideas come when you step outside the conference room and into the fresh mountain air. Until next time, Kitzbühel! 🦌

Day 2 at the VC Summit didn’t disappoint! 🦌 From thought-provoking panels to next-gen startup pitches, the energy was 🔥 all around. The day was packed with discussions on some of the most crucial topics in #venturecapital:   • Data as key milestones in the growth of our portfolio companies, with a deep dive into its importance for our #LifeSciences investments such as iOmx Therapeutics AG and NeraCare • Progress updates from our portfolio companies since the last summit  • Technology sovereignty in Europe with Soren Hein, Oliver Kahl, Christina Vogt-Sasse, and Dr. Stefan Seegerer from IQM Quantum Computers • MIG Capital’s investment strategy for the future   💬 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 – we had great opportunities to connect with both brilliant #founders and forward-thinking #investors, sparking many exciting conversations. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: The magic truly happens in the conversations between the presentations.   Now, we’re all geared up for tomorrow’s hike and summit breakfast on the Hahnenkamm! 🏔️ 👏🏼 Apollon Papadimitriou, Daniel von Janowski, Yves Kremer, Johannes B.

What a kickoff in #Kitzbühel! 🦌 Today’s workshops at the MIG Capital VC Summit were packed with insights and inspiration. 💡 One highlight was Christina Vogt-Sasse's and Oliver Kahl’s session, “KI in aller Munde” (“AI is Everywhere”), where we explored the pivotal role of #AI in our portfolio companies. We heard great examples of how AI has become the backbone of some of the most innovative products we back, because AI isn’t just an add-on — it’s a game-changer: 🧪 Johannes B. Woehrstein shared how mbiomics GmbH relies on AI to analyze massive datasets from diverse bacterial cultures. 🐕 Oliver W. Huber explained how HawkCell uses AI to filter noise from MRI images, pushing the boundaries of medical imaging. 🪨 Sebastian-Friedrich Kowitz showed us how talpasolutions integrates AI at its core to automatically detect anomalies from sensor data, revolutionizing the mining industry. Tomorrow: Big conference day + some serious networking! 🚀
