Techstars as a whole is undergoing some incredibly exciting changes. With the return of our founder, David Cohen as CEO, we’re going back to our roots, more than ever putting the founders front and center of our mission. 

I’m delighted to share the news of my promotion to Managing Director of Techstars Berlin. I have a long history with Techstars, as an early employee back in 2015, to a founder in 2020, to serving as Investment Principal in Berlin for 3 years. Founders are at the core of my mission here at Techstars. Our founders and alumni can and should expect a lot more magic moments, serendipitously engineered in their favour.

For the next quarter, our startups will engage in deep mentorship with top industry leaders, gain entry to our worldwide network, and become customer obsessed in every decision they make. If you think you fall into their customer group and are up for a customer discovery call, please reach out. We will close our program on December 3rd, with our highly curated Investor Day, offering each startup and invited investor tailored one on one meetings, an opportunity to make connections to kick off a Q1 2025 fundraise or close their first rounds.

Since coming back to Techstars in 2022, my team and I have invested in 72 companies, with €40M follow on funding received, and we’re only getting started.
