HTGF Family Day 2025 - May 19 and 20 in Berlin: Two days that really moved us as Teleskopeffekt together with Volksbank Mittweida eG. Why? Because real conversations, fresh ideas and many strong founders came together. And because you can feel that something is being created here - something you can touch, discuss and think about.
Why were we there?
As a limited partner in the HTGF IV we don't just want to be there - we want to understand, learn and join in. Family Day is a great opportunity for us to be very close to the ideas that could become big tomorrow and to the people who make them possible.
We believe that innovation cannot be understood from a desk. You have to go there, listen and exchange ideas. That's exactly what we did.
What has stuck?
Mindset is everything
Thanks to Philipp Depiereux for this one sentence that has burned itself into my memory:
„We only have one crisis - and that is the mindset crisis.“
What food for thought. Stay positive, tell good stories, ask yourself questions: What can I contribute?
Hello Germany 2.0 - we are part of it.
Venture clienting: more than just a buzzword
Product innovation alone is not enough. If you want real collaboration between start-ups and corporates, you need a different way of thinking - bolder, more direct, faster.
And: nobody has to do everything alone. The best ideas come from working together.
From founder to backer - and back again
One of the strongest sentences: „Find people who see your reality - but with different eyes.“
We take with us: Sometimes you have to be a bit „crazy“ yourself - in the best sense of the word.
Mia san Mia - and what we can learn from it
The look behind the scenes at FC Bayern was exciting: how a traditional club is living digitalization, data-driven, international - without losing its identity and values.
This is also a strong role model for companies outside of sport.
And what happens now? What can you take away from this?
If you are wondering how you can become part of this world yourself - we would be happy to talk to you.
You want to invest but don't know how?
We support you in developing an investment strategy that suits you.
Do you have bright minds in your team - and want their ideas to be more than just thoughts?
We show you how to create spaces in which ideas become real projects - and employees become creators.
Our conclusion
Two days, many conversations, many new thoughts. Thanks to the team at the HTGF - for 20 years of development work, for the trust, and for an event that shows: Something is possible in Germany. If we want to.
Please get in touch with our colleague Marion Mattern for more insights into the world of startups.
Invest strategically, grow innovatively - with our investment strategy, we open the door to the future of financial technology for banks.
