Pitchbühel in Kitzbühel 2.0! ⛷   Last week, in partnership with UBS, we hosted the second edition of Pitchbühel! 🚠 19 HealthTech founders from 8 European countries took their ideas to new heights as they pitched during an 11-minute ride in the iconic Hahnenkamm gondola.   After speeding down the slopes, we gathered for traditional Austrian cuisine and networking. What stood out to us was how quickly the founders connected, exchanged innovative ideas, and shared valuable contacts. Pitchbühel isn't just about pitching ideas; it's about building a thriving, cross-border network of HealthTech innovators. 🇪🇺   Participants rated the event an impressive 9.2/10, with a special highlight being the gondola pitch experience, and the opportunity to connect with other founders in this unique alpine setting.    Are you ready for Pitchbühel 3.0? Join the waitlist now and be the first to know all about it (link in the first comment)! 🏂   A huge thank you to all the incredible founders who joined us and made this event unforgettable! 🙏 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇳🇱🇩🇰🇬🇧🇵🇱🇨🇭 Christian Federau Marius Klages Dr. Matthias Berger Blanca Baez Bartosz Borucki Piet Hein van Dam Ada Andruszkiewicz Ryan Alicea Gina Tiriakidou Augusta Klingsten Peytz Dr. Daniel Voigt Victoria Schoeffel Johanna Rief Alexander Lukas Dmoch Dr. Jonathan Apasu Violette Defourt Gaia Salizzoni Czuee Morey, Ph.D. Giovanni Rossini

Welcome to our portfolio, Vetnio! 👋🐶 We are excited to announce our second investment in the vet space: together with our friends at Peak, we co-led the oversubscribed €1m Pre-Seed round of Vetnio. Prominent angels like Amir Marandi and Mattias Miksche joined the round. Vetnio uses AI-driven voice technology to transcribe vet-client conversations in real-time, automate reports, and save up to 9 hours of admin work weekly - tackling the veterinary industry's major challenge of administrative overload. We are proud to back the founders Arman Karégar and Max Henry Xie, who impressed us by already securing 30+ partnerships, including one of the biggest veterinarian clinic groups globally. Congrats to Arman and Max and their team – we are proud to be on this journey with you!👏 #healthtech #venturecapital
