The largest European Venture Capital organization for students with hubs in Munich, London, Cambridge, Madrid, Paris, Milan, St. Gallen, Berlin, and Amsterdam (>300 active members). The intersection of startups, students and investors is our area of impact and where we connect, empower and educate. We thrive to become the No. 1 student VC Organization in the world and to empower our members to have a profound impact in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. We started Innovis VC from scratch, and I led the organisation for over 2 years, during which we built a mature tech product and professional services offering. We scaled the organisation to 150+ active members and 9 hubs in Europe in 2 years. In May 2022 I stepped down from my operational position, but continue to closely support the current management board as an advisor.
