alarm:clock Euro Quiz Winner - Questico's Bryan Leppi
Congratulations to Bryan Leppi, co-founder of German cross-media startup Questico. He was the first to write in with the correct answer to last week's Quiz Question:
Name the early stage VC based in Germany whose portfolio company just received authorization to float next month. If it goes off as planned it will make it the firm's sixth portfolio company to IPO in the past 13 months.
The answer: Earlybird Ventures - The Hamburg-based firm is floating one of its life science portfolio firms, Wilex, giving the VC firm its sixth IPO and seventh exit in the past year.
Leppi keeps an eye on Earlybird's vintage 2000 exits because his company also raised captial around the same time. Questico parlayed a VC-investment in its online horoscopes and fortune-telling site, into a call-center supported online business that now produces call-in television shows, and publishes books. Questico is backed by Earlybird rival, Wellington Capital Partners, based in Munich.
