catcap angel lounge in berlin
this eveing there is an angel lounge from catcap in the "treptower" in berlin. catcap is an corporate finance advisory and they organize "angel lounges" and "venture lounges" in a few big citiies in Germany regularly. These events bring together founders as well as investors and the people you meet there are good quality. also the companies pitching are pre-screend by catcap, so little to no crap there.
I have an interview with michael moritz, one (the?) of the catcap partners on my grunderszene blog (sorry, it's german!).
(Yet Another Video startup? One of the pitches this evening at the longe...)
this event kind of reminds me where it all started with spreadshirt in two ways:
one is that in 2003 catcap gave me the opportunity to present spreadshirt in front of the angel lounge in haburg. the outcome was not too great since there was little interest to invest into spreadshirt, but since other biz angels networks turned us down completely in 2002 (that is, not even let us present) it was still good.
(the treptower from the outside...)
the second reason is the treptower. this is also where all of it kind oif started. when I teamed up with matthias spiess (co founder and cto at spreadshirt) he was still with an other software company which had offices in the treptower. one of our first (weekend) work sessions that we had together was just one or two stories below the top flor, where catcap helds it's angel lounge today.
(The treptower from the inside... kind off...)
