“My childhood was marked by the challenge of balancing two identities, feeling at home in neither place fully.” That’s how community member Pierre Chami describes growing up with 2hearts. Caught between cultures, Pierre faced the typical challenges that come with a migration background. 💬 I came from Syria with my family, seeking safety and a better future. Raised in Germany, I often felt like an outsider, struggling to adapt to a new culture and language. Summers spent in Syria were a reminder of my roots, filled with both joy and a sense of disconnection. School was particularly tough, as I faced discrimination and isolation from my peers, until I finally found like-minded friends in Oberstufe. Despite these hardships, I found strength in my heritage and resilience. Pierre also represents the many talented people in this community, shaping the tech scene with their talents, dedication, and eventful biographies. 💬 My passion for technology began in high school, where I developed a strong interest in computer science. My professional journey has been diverse, including roles at AWS, JP Morgan, and Bain, where I focused extensively on digital transformation and innovative solutions. These experiences have solidified my dedication to the tech industry and my enthusiasm for driving technological advancements. #2hearts #memberspotlight #2hearts

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. More about DN Capital: DN Capital is a leading European early stage venture capital firm with operations in London, Berlin and Silicon Valley. The firm focuses on Series A investments in software, fintech, marketplace and consumer internet. DN Capital’s mission is to support entrepreneurs in creating global category leaders. DN was an early backer in global category leading unicorn companies such as Auto1, Shazam, Endeca, Incode, Go Student, Job and Talent, Mister Spex, Hometogo, OLX, Remitly, Quandoo and Yassir. #venturecapital #diversity #migrantfounders #europe #collaboration #unicorn

Sharing a very special moment in her career, Sophie was one of the experienced founders who shaped the atmosphere of this event. Bringing together founders in a very intimate environment, this night was dedicated to sharing thoughts, asking questions, and discussing current challenges. We all had very insightful conversations and AMA sessions by inspiring leaders: ⭐ Dr. Sophie Chung, Qunomedical GmbH, talking about the challenges of building a network from scratch. ⭐ Ijad Madisch, ResearchGate, sharing his experiences with raising capital from GoldmanSachs, Benchmark, Accel, Founders Fund, and Bill Gates. ⭐ Kurosch Daniel Habibi, CARL, demystifying the venture scene by discussing lessons and insights from his 10 years experience. Many thanks to the 2hearts team around Mahir Isikli, to Zendesk - especially Hannes Ortmeier -, and to Earlybird Venture Capital Vision Lab - especially Franziska Harzheim - for partnering up to host this event. #foundersafespace #2hearts #entrepreneurship
