Startup Entrepreneurs, Investors and Mentors from Germany get together.
TOPIC OF THE NIGHT
Vision, Team, Business Model, Valuation & Fundraising
What does it take to get a Billion Euro valuation. Not possible? Well – think again.
1) Startups move to Silicon Valley to get more money
2) Do they get it? Not right away – but learn quickly how.
3) Then valuations rise quickly for every round
4) Where does all the money come from?
Not from a „VC“ but from European and in particular Swiss and German investors investing in funds put together by US VCs.
CHALLENGE:
Wouldn’t it be easier to help German startups get smarter right here and attract the same investors who would invest anyway – just instead of the money crossing the Atlantic, keeping it in the country?
INTRODUCTION:
In 1999 Axel Schultze and Marita Roebkes moved to Silicon Valley and started BlueRoads an Enterprise Software Solution und had a successful exit in 2007. In 2012 they found out that the fund that funded BlueRoads was feed to 75% by European investors and one of them they met in Berlin. Axel will share the full picture.
