Alexander von Frankenberg
With around 700 portfolio companies at the time of this post, High-Tech Gründerfonds, or HTGF, was described here as Germany’s largest seed investor. The intriguing question: which city was behind HTGF’s biggest exit? My favourite city, Heidelberg 😊
Admittedly, the company that was sold was based elsewhere, but its technology came from Heidelberg University!
At the previous 🏰 Dinner im Schloss, HTGF Managing Director Alex von Frankenberg offered fascinating insights into the major problems HTGF is interested in solving, such as health and CO₂, and the sustainability-related opportunities it is willing to invest in.
I am delighted he will return on 23 April. This time, he joins a panel on the transformation of the automotive industry and the move away from combustion engines.
