Int$oducing  Openf0nd  II
       Your Startup Partner
5 years ago, we started our own companies
and met up together at Open Coffee.
Our startups failed,
but a community was being created.
Most other local startups were failing
as well, for the very same reasons.
We tried to figure out a solution.
Openfund I
• We set up an exceptional team of 7
  individuals and raised €500k
• We offered advice on all things startup
  and €20-50k for 15% of equity
• We received 300+ proposals and
  selected 8 teams to work with
Portfolio
Current Status
€2M
raised in follow-up funding
55
current headcount
2.2x
nominal returns, current estimate
Learnings

• Operations proved suboptimal
• Lack of follow on capital an issue
