One highlight follows the other this week: 🚀 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐰𝐨 2024 wrapped up by our Senior Investment Manager Tim Schwichtenberg: As Europe’s largest university spin-off competition, Stage Two brought together over 50 spin-offs from 20+ countries, spotlighting innovation and ambition.   🌍Amidst the constant narrative that Europe is falling behind, Tim stands with those who believe in a brighter outlook: "Yes, we face significant challenges, but I’m a firm optimist, confident in the promise of Europe and the talent of its entrepreneurs. This pan-European, university-led startup competition, was a powerful reminder of this potential—a prime example that Europe’s future is powered by extraordinary talent with the potential to solve todays’ problems and shape what’s ahead."

What a Startup Night! 🚀 Under the theme of connection, innovation, ambition we really enjoyed meeting with curious startup minds, experts and other VCs. Bloomhaus had a powerful presence, with Pascal Stuerchler taking on multiple roles: 👍 Serving on the pitch jury for the pre-seed session alongside Aron Braun, Arijana Walcott, Craig Cooper, Guy Giuffredi, Jacqueline Ruedin Rüsch, and moderator Blazy Flash 👍 Leading the founders2 workshop with Kaspar Zimmerli and Christian von Olnhausen 👍 Joining a panel on what investors truly value, with Brett Martin, Simon R. Furer, Andreas Schlenker and moderator Corey Wright Key insights for startups: 👉 Start pitching to tier 3 VCs; save tier 1 for when you’re at your strongest. 👉 Focus seed pitches on how funds will fuel future rounds, not just why you deserve them. 👉 Be aware of VC vs. CVC economics, funding sources and decision-making processes - and seek your fit. 👉 Part-time founders struggle to gain VC trust—commit fully. 👉 Due diligence (DD) is ongoing; every conversation sends signals. 🚨 Exciting news for founders with 1m+ CHF ARR: founders2 is launching its exclusive program in January 2025. This blend of entrepreneurial education, hands-on coaching, and growth-focused strategies is designed to accelerate your business.

"Evaluating Venture Opportunities" is the topic of the guest lecture that Tim Schwichtenberg will be presenting at Humboldt University in Berlin next Tuesday. The aim is to give students an understanding of ▶ what a VC looks for in a startup when deciding whether to invest or not ▶ where to find good start-ups ▶ how to evaluate a start-up ▶ what is a real investment opportunity and ▶ how is the investment process structured Looking forward to a great exchange. Many thanks Tim Adam for initiating this lecture.
