Simon Says: For the next generation with the next generation 👨👩👧👦 Delicious BBQ, cold beer and plenty of sunshine 😎 – perfect conditions for our Simon Capital Family Reunion ☀️ And yes, family reunion is meant very literatlly as we brought our work family and home families together with quite a bunch of little unicorns 🦄. It was an absolute summer blast, as you might infer from the pictures below. As we head into the heart of the summer season, we want to wish everyone a joyful and (and hopefully sunny) time ahead. Whether you're traveling, spending time with loved ones, or just enjoying some relaxed summer evenings, make the most of these sunny days! 🌴🎊 #SimonCapital #forthenextgeneration Dr. Friedrich Droste Jan Leicht Fabienne Müller Nico Heinz Niklas Leske Malissa Dore Christopher Schön Oscar von Podewils

Simon says: Welcome Students of Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf! This week, Niklas and Nico had the pleasure of hosting 20 enthusiastic HHU students 👨🎓👩🎓 eager to gain insights into #VentureCapital and #StartUps. They asked plenty of questions about a typical day in VC, career paths in the industry, and how a VC fund can evolve from a CVC structure. As Start-Ups and Venture Capital are often underrepresented in many business school curriculums, we were thrilled to collaborate with Eva Lutz to shed more light on our industry. It's important for us to do our part #forthenextgeneration of professionals in VC and start-ups 😉 . Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the honest discussions and eye-level exchanges. Your curiosity and engagement made it a truly rewarding experience for all!

Think optimized social media and seamless website conversions! 5. 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗡𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘁: ✨ Have that unique element people instantly associate with your product. Whether it's unique packaging (Just Spices), a revolutionary concept (Drops/Waterdrop, 1 1/Share), or exceptional brand building (HOLY), make sure you stand out!
