On 15 and 16 September 2017, WEGVISOR® and Johann Kornelsen hosted a StartUp Think Tank on German start-up culture at Hotel an der Oper in Chemnitz, as part of our Leadership Talks.
After a welcome from Member of Parliament Frank Heinrich and a talk on start-up ecosystems by Prof. Dr. Mario Geißler, 32 entrepreneurs and investors began two intense days – with many conversations late into the evening.
Keynote · A business angel’s everyday life
On Saturday, Titus Lindl gave an insight into a business angel’s daily life: what does an investor really look for, and what do founders need besides capital? Then the group visited Mailingwork.
Takeaway: Capital matters – but above all, founders need people who think along with them.
Thank you to Johann Kornelsen and all participants for the open exchange. The WEGVISOR® Leadership Foundation supports events like this because strong start-up ecosystems need people who take responsibility.
