About our recent event visit 🤩

What an amazing evening at the HEUKING Venture Capital Night! 🤩 Last night, we had the privilege of being part of this fantastic event hosted by HEUKING, bringing together the local start-up ecosystem. It was incredible to witness the energy and passion of the founders pitching their ventures, all striving to make their mark and secure the next big investment. 🚀 The highlight? Definitely the panel discussion. Hearing their insights and experiences gave us all a fresh perspective on the ever-evolving world of venture capital. We’re also grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many talented startups, each showcasing their brilliant ideas. The enthusiasm in the room was contagious, and it reminded us just how powerful this community can be when we come together. The journey #SpotlightOnTour is just getting started, and we can’t wait for what’s next! 🙌 ________________________________ Carsten Puschmann I Tobias Weissgerber I Dr. Patrick Müller LL.M. #SpotlightOnTour #VentureCapitalNight #StartUpEcosystem #InnovationInAction #Networking #Pitches #PanelDiscussion #Community
