Investment Summit
Wann
Wo
Calling all pre-seed and seed stage startups from the Factory Berlin community! We’re launching a new format in Berlin called Investment Summit.
This member-only event invites our top in-house startups to pitch their company to a panel of top investors from our network.
Each startup will give a 5 minute pitch to a panel of investors, followed by a 5-minute Q&A. Later in the day, the investors meet 1:1 with each founder to share feedback for the founders to improve their pitch, ask any remaining questions about the startup, and discuss what's next.
This first edition invites investors Madeline Lawrence (Head of DACH at Peak), Sinah Mussmann (Analyst at Cavalry Ventures), Nethanel Sztrum (Director at Rivus Capital),
Gentian Kuqica (Investment Associate at Antler) and Fabian Wittleben (Founding Partner at CG Partners & Angel Investor).

Investor | Head of DACH at Peak
At the age of 20, Madeline built a pre-seed VC fund for young founders backed by angels and Universities. Today, Madeline leads investments in the DACH region for founder-backed VC Peak. When not speaking to SaaS and marketplace founders, you can find her sharply criticizing the industry, from investors ‘making rich men richer’ to analyzing their shoes.
Peak is an early-stage venture capital fund based in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Stockholm. They are fully funded and run by experienced entrepreneurs, with the scars to prove it. Industry agnostic but model specific, Peak brings more than a decade of experience in scaling marketplace, platform, and SaaS companies.
Early-stage VC | Director at Rivus Capital
Nate started his career as a corporate lawyer focused on capital markets. After his MBA from Michigan, USA, he turned to investment banking where he specialized in technology mergers and acquisition transactions. This is where he found his interest in technology. That led him to venturing into the venture capital world in Berlin, Munich, and Tel Aviv 5 years ago. His passion and focus along my VC career has always been B2B and B2B2C companies, from seed to series B.
