What started as a simple idea quickly turned into something special! ☕️ Last Friday, we had the pleasure of co-hosting the first-ever VC-Coffee Club at the brand-new IN GOOD COMPANY HQ, alongside our good friends Florian Krumb from IN GOOD COMPANY and Kim Duc Quyen Tran and Yasemin Sezer from Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures. Originally, Florian , Kim, and Yasemin planned for a small, casual morning coffee with a few VC colleagues—just a chance to catch up in person. But the response was overwhelming! 🎉 Over 50 incredible VC professionals joined us, turning a simple idea into a vibrant gathering full of energy, connection, and delicious coffee. A special thanks to Florian for opening up his beautiful new office space, which proved to be the perfect venue for this event. IN GOOD COMPANY truly lived up to its name, providing a warm and welcoming environment for meaningful conversations and networking. 🏢✨For those of you who do not know IN GOOD COMPANY yet: they are doing fantastic work helping startups solve their recruiting challenges and build successful teams. 🤝 We were also thrilled to see such a strong turnout from the 2hearts community, which many of our team members, including Yas and Kim, are proud to be a part of. It was wonderful to see more than half of the attendees representing this dynamic and passionate group. ❤️ We’re excited to keep the momentum going—who’s up for round two of DvH Ventures x In Good Company Morning Coffee? Let’s make it happen again soon! ☕️👥🙌 w/ Peter Richarz Fabian von Trotha Dr. Cihat Cengiz Caner Uslu Daniel Kranzer
