VC Sounding Board: HTGF

The VC Sounding Boards are back. Every month, a fund from ETH Investor Connect is spending a few hours in our Oerlikon tower office to spar with founders from ETH, one-on-one. This is not a pitch, and neither is it a get-to-know coffee; it’s a place to throw around thoughts and untangle the disarray of building. On 16 November our offices will be taken over by Hannah Kamm from HTGF. With a background in chemical and process engineering (she actually studied here at ETH), she's now investing as part of their industrial, climate and deep tech team. She’d love to have a chat, especially if you match the following: Stage: Pre-seed/seed Primary industry: generalist deep tech Want to spar on anything early-stage company building, incl. scaling hardware Over the course of the day, we’ll have 5 slots which you can apply for; you can indicate which one(s) you’d prefer on the registration page.* These sessions are open to any and all builders at ETH! About ETH Investor Connect ETH Investor Connect, an initiative by ETH Entrepreneurship, is a community of selected institutional investors who actively contribute to the entrepreneurial ecosystem at ETH. Through community events, a VC-in-Residence engagement, and other initiatives, these funds support and engage with founders looking to build at - and scale beyond - ETH Zurich. About HTGF HTGF is Germany’s most active VC investor, funding deep-tech, life sciences and digital tech companies that secure technological sovereignty and build industrial strength. From the initial idea through to international scaling, we support bold founders as a multi-stage VC platform – seamlessly, reliably and for the long term. 350 active start-ups, 200+ exits and 5 unicorns. Over €10 billion in follow-on funding mobilised. Together with DTCF, HTGF represents more than €3 billion in fund volume – and turn German and European innovations into global tech champions. * Please note: We want the VC Sounding Boards to be a space where you can be specific, go deep, and spar in an actionable way - not simply provide you with generic advice. For this reason, we need to make sure that there’s a good match between your needs and stage, and the investor’s competence and focus - in practice this means that we’ll allocate the slots based on fit as well as on when you register. Don’t worry if there isn’t a match this time; our investor community is diverse and chances are high that there’ll be a fit with another fund!
