Last week was a busy one at Antler, as we had a full house in Berlin with founders from Munich and Amsterdam coming to visit! One of the major highlights of the week was a VC panel, hosted by our one and only Frederik Brandis, featuring leaders from the German VC community like Alexander Kölpin from seed + speed Ventures and Louis Heinz from HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds. 🎙️ We covered some great topics—from how VCs evaluate opportunities and upcoming technologies to what’s the next big thing in VC land. The standout discussion for me centered on the risks of solely optimising for valuation and how founders can find a balance between runway and expectations. 💰 It’s easy to become obsessed with valuation and raising lots of money. And yes, while big raises can signal strong momentum and fuel rapid growth 🚀, they also come with monumental expectations. So the question becomes, how can founders avoid overpromising to investors, while still raising enough to build the next big thing? To our Amsterdam and Munich founders, we already miss you! Looking forward to our next events!
