Hasso Plattner Rocks
Hasso Plattner Played For Guests At Party At His New Incubator In Potsdam On Friday
We like the way that SAP co-founder, Hasso Plattner, is taking on retirment. No stories about big yachts, rather he's promoting his incubator for tech startups and university research commercialization in Potsdam, getting his son to manage a VC fund that backs long shots at biotech cures and other risky ventures, and being available to budding entrepreneurs. Update/Correction: The part about Plattner's son managing a VC fund to invest in biotech firms is incorrect. It is actually Dietmar Hopp, another co-founder of SAP, whose son is managing such a fund.
