“You have to check whether the setup is good enough before investing. Above all, this means checking who is co-investing in the round, how the team is organised, and how the governance is structured, so that the start-up can grow and exit successfully. At Gateway Ventures, I find it very appealing that the investors are pooled, as this gives them a stronger influence on subsequent VC funding rounds.”<\/p>

“Many start-ups fail to penetrate the market because they grow too quickly. I would only invest in start-ups that have developed a product which people love and would recommend to others, and which creates real added value. This is the only way for a start-up to scale up. You can easily determine the product-market fit based on the churn rate.”<\/p>

“When searching for and assessing start-up investments, specialisation is helpful. In my case, this is in software and internet companies. I also believe that a product’s specific customer benefits, unique selling points and scalability are particularly important. I also assess the suitability of the founding team. These are my first priorities.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
