alarm:clock euro puzzler winners: Hitflip's Jan Miczaika and Neuhaus Partners's Jozefak

We have two winners for this week's alarm:clock euro puzzler because timing was close we called it a tie.

The question :
Which early stage German venture fund counts SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira as an investor and supporter?

The answer: Firstventury Equity

Out of Heidelberg, Firstventury, is one of the few VC funds in Europe that is founded by entrepreneurs and financed by wealthier entrepreneurs, as opposed to pension fund managers and institutional investors. It's a model that seems so obvious and yet is still relatively rare in the venture market here.

Both Jan Miczaika, founder of online digital media trading exchange Hitflip - that is him (far right) in the photo on the right - and Paul Jozefak, a Neuhaus Partners' managing partner (before joining Neuhaus, Jozefak was at SAP Ventures, leading the European direct investements as well as its LP activities), wrote in with the correct answer.
