Our network of #domain #experts offers a wide range of backgrounds, knowledge and expertise. Domain experts provide selective support in the programme - for example in our upcoming Domain Expert Carousel - and are also there for the teams as experts on demand. A) We would like to thank the more than 350 domain experts in our network. The success of many of our teams is very closely linked to your commitment. 👏 And B) We would like to introduce you! The many directions from which our domain experts come are super exciting. There is almost certainly an answer to every question, no matter how niche, in the network.

🖱️ You can't spell climate without AI 💾 This was the third event in our climate tech & 🍕 pizza event series. Once again, our aim was to gain new perspectives and, in particular, to contrast the founder's perspective with the investor's perspective. This time, we discussed a topic that we could easily have spent a whole week on – AI in climate tech. We tried to draw the line between good AI and bad AI, we took a look into probably the foggiest crystal ball of all time and we talked about the enormous energy consumption of data centres. We wondered whether resource-intensive AI development is a driver for green energy and what happens when AGI (Artifical General Intelligence) comes on the scene. And what will actually make climate AI solutions a VC case? As you can see, there were many big questions that the fantastic panelists discussed. A big thank you to... Dr. Katharine Shapcott, a neuroscientist, co-founder and CTO at VoltVogel Fabian Krautwurst, AI inthusiast and Principal at World Fund Alexander Buchholz, Senior Applied Scientist and Machine Learning expert Aurianne Legris, ClimateTech & DeepTech investor at Honda Xcelerator Ventures A big thank you to Techspace for co-hosting. Techspace Kreuzberg is not just our home for the cohort for 24/25, but also a great event space. And a big thank you to our great partner and second co-host Honda Xcelerator Ventures. Last, but not least thanks to all the participants. We hope you had good conversations, went home full of pizza, and full of inspiration. What do you think - is the development of resource-efficient AI solutions in the climate sector a deciding factor in the fight against climate change?

We've got: 🔬 CO2 eating microbes ❎ plastic-free medtech 🚘 AI for vehicle charging 🌳 carbon storage ...and much much more For the next ten weeks they'll now be working intensively with our Entrepreneurs In Residence, it's all about product, go-to-market, investment readiness and most importantly of all, the case for mitigating at least 10 million tonnes of CO2e per year when at scale. #climateemergency #climatetech #CCUS #nature #venturecapital

How nice it is to see each other again. 👀 Yesterday we started the second inperson block in phase 1 of the Berlin Venture Builder programme. It's almost half time and very exciting to see the first teams in the making. Phase 1 of the programme consists of three inperson blocks that we are running in different locations with different partners. The aim of the first phase - and in particular the inperson days - is to foster personal connection and enable solid foundations for teams to work together successfully in the long term. We would like to thank Deutsche Telekom and in particular the hubraum team for their support and the fantastic location!
