As part of Batch #10 of the WERK X program (featuring Grwm., Denki Health, and look2x), I had the opportunity to join as a guest in my capacity as an investor – deliberately stepping outside the thematic areas I typically focus on in my day-to-day work at Evonik Venture Capital. This conscious shift in perspective proved to be particularly enriching. The conversations with the founders clearly demonstrated the level of innovation, clarity, and entrepreneurial drive with which they are addressing real-world challenges – even when their business models fall outside my usual investment logic. It was inspiring to share experiences, ask questions, and offer input – while also gaining new perspectives in return. My sincere thanks go to the WERK X team, especially Dr. Yvonne Braukhoff, for the invitation and the opportunity to be part of this exchange. I’m taking away many valuable insights – and look forward to when our paths cross again. #VentureCapital #Startups #WERKX #Innovation #EvonikVentureCapital #PerspectiveShift #Batch10
