☀ Highlights from our ‘Future Founder’ rooftop meetup! A few weeks ago, we had an incredible evening on our rooftop, collaborating with Embarc, Atlantic Labs, and HEARTFELT_ VC to dive into a topic crucial for any successful startup: co-founder collaboration. We were lucky to hear firsthand experiences from amazing founders like Johannes Roggendorf (Founder of MEDWING), Eliza-Marija Hirvensalo (Founder of @Dogo), in a discussion moderated by Cephas Ndubueze from @FOMO. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their co-founding journeys! 🇫🇷 Looking ahead: Next Thursday, we're teaming up with French Tech Berlin to bring together founders, operators, and investors from the vibrant Franco-Berlin tech community. Under the theme "Franco-German VC Investment," we’ll explore the powerful synergies between two of Europe’s leading startup ecosystems. We’re excited to welcome Alice Bardon Catineau (Atlantic Labs), Stefan Albers (XAnge), Thorben Rothe (IRIS), Emilie Vallauri (Techstars), and have our very own Jonathan Uthe-Spencker (FoodLabs) to share their insights. 🔗 Don’t miss out - sign up here: https://lu.ma/7zd055kd

🚀 We’re beyond excited to welcome Simon Lohmann to the FoodLabs team as our new Head of Investor Relations! 🎉 Simon joined us from Cavalry Ventures - where he made a significant impact by building up their platform, successfully raising multiple funds and SPVs, and establishing a strong infrastructure for their investor base, among many other achievements. With his extensive industry expertise and impressive background, Simon will now lead our investor relations strategy and execution, guiding us through every stage of the venture lifecycle. 💬 “After seven years at a generalist software fund, I was excited by the opportunity to join FoodLabs and focus on the Food-, Climate-, Ag-, and Biotech sectors. These industries are at the forefront of sustainability and are crucial to addressing the climate crisis - one of the most pressing challenges of our generation.” We also asked Simon about his journey in VC and his learnings on building long-lasting relationships with LP investors. 💬 “It takes a long time to see the success of your work - that's why you should try to think about your relevant relations and interactions as long-term. Select some outstanding individuals and build up a close relationship with them over time. I also like to use the concept of *the “favor box” when it comes to building strong relationships with investors - which means that you should always give before you take and try to give more than you take in total. This goes hand in hand with building trust with your investors. Always keep your promises and be reliable. Trust is the most important factor of a successful LP/GP-relationship, next to outstanding financial returns.” Welcome onboard, Simon! We look forward to working with you 💚 Patrick Noller Till Hoelzer Nicolaus Norden Julius Strauss Jana Lachmann Bastian Stöhr Valeria Do Jonathan Uthe-Spencker Kerstin Sandow
