“I want to build tomorrow together with entrepreneurs.”
My role as an investor
I am not a classic investor. Being a silent partner interests me as little as exit strategies. I want to build “tomorrow” together with entrepreneurs. And make them successful.
I am inspired by founders who have the right mindset: They know that we will have to do business differently in the future. Who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get down to work. And who have the potential to advance the circular economy.
