About
As a business angel, I have been investing in exceptional founders for over a decade — early, with conviction and for the long run. Having built companies myself, I bring a genuine founder's perspective to every investment.
My portfolio spans direct investments across diverse sectors as well as LP positions in leading venture capital funds. I also serve as Venture Partner at the DeepTech fund eCAPITAL, adding institutional perspective to my work.
As a member of multiple supervisory and advisory boards — including the Digital Advisory Board of the State Government of NRW — I connect entrepreneurial practice with broader political and social impact.
Building the next generation of founders matters deeply to me. As an active shareholder of Startup Teens, I support a national network that guides students through their entrepreneurial journeys with a strong focus on equal opportunity.
Sector focus: AI & DeepTech, Consumer, HealthTech, Future of Work and sustainable consumption.

WE Ventures — Investment Philosophy
Early and with conviction. I invest before a company is provable — deciding on founder, market and timing, not traction metrics.
Capital is just the beginning. I bring experience from building companies myself, a strong network and hands-on support — especially in the phases where both matter more than money.
Founders, not concepts. The best companies are built by people who cannot let go of a problem. I look for those people — regardless of background, CV or first pitch.
Think long-term, act decisively. Good investments take time. I am not a financial investor with exit pressure, but a partner who understands how long real company building takes.
