meetup 8: Fund or get funded! - Different views on FinTech financing

Dear all,

You have not heard much from us recently but soon our summer break is coming to an end.

First week in September we will be back with a meetup on FinTech financing. The topic will be “FinTech Funding” and we will hear about (and later on discuss) different perspectives on investing in FinTech.

We are looking forward to the following program:

Kim – Investment Director @ Dieter von Holzbrink Venturs

Dr. Marc P. Umber – Investment Manager @ High-Tech Gründerfonds

Will share some insights on what matters to them when investing in FinTech.

Followed by 5-minute pitches by
Roland Claussen, Founder @ awamo

Oliver Naegele, Founder @ Blockchain Helix

Robin Buschmann, Founder @ Giromatch

Alexander Kuchta, Founder @ Emporion

On the pitches we would like to follow with a panel discussion including the first three speakers and…

Dr. Benjamin Buettner, Partner @ Mayer Brown

… who will add a legal perspective to the table.

Again we will be able to offer free beer and pizza, this time sponsored by Mayer Brown LLP… big THANK YOU for that!

Very important note: This time we will introduce "penalty terms" for corporate dresscode. If you come directly from work and still wear your suite, you are still very welcome to join us... you will just be charged the significant amount of EUR 5. If you do not feel like taking of your tie, this increases to the massive amount of EUR 10. Of course you also get some value for this money… a "FinTechFFM approved" sticker on your suite ;-)

Cheers,

Felix
