Four questions for …

What fascinates you about pre-seed/seed phases?

The pre-seed/seed phase is the riskiest because you are investing in the founders and their ideas, which are often still in their infancy. I love this phase because it leaves a lot of room for intuition and intensive analysis.

What are the most important skills for founders?

Successful founders are characterized by their passion and tireless drive. Equally important is the ability to accept feedback and adapt flexibly in order to respond to challenges.

What distinguishes the HTGF team?

The HTGF team brings together over 100 experts with different perspectives and specializations. This diversity creates exciting insights, steep learning curves and an atmosphere characterized by a spirit of innovation and collaboration at eye level.

What inspires you outside of work?

I love being active – be it on the tennis court in summer, on skis in winter or exploring new places. But you can also often find me in a cozy café with a coffee and a book.
