Investment Director
Ute Mercker
As a child, what did you want to become when you grew up?
I always wanted to be a writer. Books are still a great source of inspiration and a true place of relaxation for me, and this fascination has now extended to podcasts.
Why did you become an investment manager?
As a VC investor, I can ideally combine my interests in startups, new technologies and corporate finance with my love for my home town.
What makes a good founder for you?
A good founder convinces me with a clear vision for his product and the associated customer benefit, but can still adapt flexibly to the constantly changing market and competitive environment.
