SymbiaVC

As much as we’d love to attend every startup fair and convention, it’s not always feasible. However, Bits & Pretzels is one event we make sure not to miss each year. It’s a place where meaningful connections are made, great opportunities emerge, and the inspiring atmosphere keeps us coming back.   Our investment managers, Marlis Baurecht and Alex Burger, had the opportunity to engage with the vibrant startup ecosystem, attending insightful sessions and key side-events, such as those hosted by Ricarda Schulte and Markus Bold from Chemovator GmbH, the business incubator of chemical group BASF.   The legendary Oktoberfest experience was also a highlight - special thanks to Valentin Schneider & Team from KPMG Venture Services for hosting us.   We were particularly impressed by Joulzen, an Austrian startup that repurposes old oil heating tanks by integrating them into modern energy systems, converting them into thermal batteries for surplus electricity. Their innovative approach to energy storage stood out, and they made excellent use of the platform to showcase their solution. Congratulations to Sebastian Rigger and the team for an outstanding presentation!   Additionally, our team had numerous 1:1 meetings with key industry leaders, including Florian Ascherl, Christine Heuwing, Atilio Grimani, Julie Eeftink , and Bernd Hinrichsen. With all of you we feel a strong desire to reconnect!   Bits & Pretzels 2024 has once again proven to be an invaluable event for us to connect with forward-thinking entrepreneurs and partners. We look forward to building on these relationships and continuing to support the next generation of innovative startups. #symbiaVC #bitsandpretzels #innovation #venturecapital #startups #networking
