Puzzler Winners - Board Knowledge
The answer to last week's puzzler brought in responses from readers in Germany and Austria, and strangely none from the Nordics.
What is the name of the VC firm that counts Preben Damgaard as one of its six advisory board members?
is Nordic Venture Partners.
The first to write in with the correct answer was Clemens von Bergmann, a senior investment manager with High-Tech Gründerfonds, the German early-stage venture capital fund.
He works with startups to raise funding, find strategic partnerships and helps with post-merger integration. Prior to that, he was an executive at a biometric facial recognition company, which was acquired by Nasdaq-quoted Viisage.com. Software and internet investments are his domain.
The tenth to write in was Stefan Kalteis (image left) of i5invest, an Austrian/Swiss investment firm that he said not only gets involved in supporting portfolio companies, but also funds and builds entrepreneurial management teams around its own ideas.
Previously, Kalteis was with German VC firm Target Partners, where he put to use his background in telecommunications engineering and working in the software industry. He has a blog too, at idee.vc with an interesting format. A dialogue on VC theme, vying the viewpoints of an ambitious investor against an entrepreneur (German).
