Wolfgang was almost born an entrepreneur and investor. After a banking apprenticeship, he was an entrepreneur before his time and started his first business while still at university. This was followed by a steep career in the investment sector, from corporate venturing at Vodafone to his first steps as an VC investor in Silicon Valley, joining and successfully exiting Apertio, a UK based telecom startup business, to NokiaSiemensNetworks. He then joined Valérie at Seventure Partners where he invested in SumUp, IdNow, Conject (sold to Oracle US), Retailo (sold to Blackhawk, US), Tradoria (sold to Rakuten, Japan) and many others. As an investor, Wolfgang also has strong experience in international M&A. He joined Hi Inov in 2018 and is running the German office of Hi Inov in Munich. Wolfgang holds a PhD in economics from Munich University.
