DN Capital reposted this
𝟮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 | 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗡 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 In July, the 2hearts Angels Collective hosted a dinner with Lucas Schaubel, Ragnar Jongen, and Gülsah Wilke from DN Capital. The 2hearts Angels Collective is on a mission to build the most diverse investing community in Europe, focusing on culturally diverse founder teams. This mission involves building a talented investor community, attracting exceptional migrant founders, and actively investing in overlooked high-potential ventures. The data speaks volumes: 💡 70% of unicorns in the US and UK have founders who are immigrants, women, or people of color. 💡 In Germany, 60% of unicorns include migrant founders. 💡 Interestingly, migrant founders are also often more ambitious and resilient than their non-migrant peers. 💡 However, it remains relatively more challenging for migrants to become founders and secure funding. To overcome this, we are very grateful to have the support from and collaborate with leading investors like DN Capital who are committed to actively shaping tomorrow's success stories that reflect the richness of our society. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to DN Capital who made the dinner possible and all 20 angels who joined us. For more information about the 2hearts Angels Collective, please reach out to Selma Meryem Peters, Richy Ugwu, or Tolgay Azman.
