Couldn’t agree with this article more. The amount of supply chain disruptions, threats and issues has been increasing in the world and even more important to have better tools to support procurement and supply chain in large companies. Alpas AI is a great example of a company doing that! Nice feature of them and Isabel Poppek in Handelsblatt!

Ep.17 Drop #20Angel 🎙 The one & only Philipp Moehring, Co-Founder of Tiny Supercomputer Investment Company, joined me in the hot seat for a rare public appearance 🔥 👉 Introducing Tiny Supercomputer Investment Company FUND III ✍ 👉 Higher valuations = higher expectations 💣 👉 Giving Founders the freedom to be extreme 🤪 👉 Your access gives you your price 💰 Some Founder References on Philipp: dennis müller (Amie): "More than most, pmoe is a cheerleader. The journey is already hard enough, some VC's make it harder by sending unsolicited articles with "seen this?". He's the opposite. always fun to brainstorm ideas with him. Differentiated intros relative to others." David Budde (trawa): “He‘s been a great sparring partner and has a ton of experience. I remember, the night before our Pre-Seed closing, we found a minor but important error in our cap table. Unsure what to do, we called Phil late that evening for guidance. To me, it‘s super important to know that I can reach my investors, if it actually matters, and that they‘ll be able to help! he’s just a really nice guy.” Milos Rusic (deepset): “Phil is amazing! He was actively involved in assembling each of our funding rounds - even in the first round where he committed before we had settled for a lead investor. He actively helped to construct our favourite setup of lead investors for that initial round. He knows everyone and his support is not limited to great intros - he really helps founders to assess and identify which investor could be a right fit for them. 100% reliable, massive value for every company. What they do is really unique.” This was a special one to do, hope you enjoy 🍿 https://lnkd.in/gTRT_SmJ 20VC, #AngelInvesting, #technology, #podcast, #entrepreneurship, #VC, #Founder, #Investing

Do you wonder what kind of founders and topics we are looking for at Climate Founders? This is our investment thesis Lin Gong-Deutschmann, Franziska Ponick and I with some sparring from Philipp Herkelmann put together: 👩‍🔬 💚 📈 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. We are here to support the ones who deeply care about our planet and have found their angle to contribute significantly to a brighter future. As we observed how incredibly fast open-minded, resilient, highly productive and intrinsically motivated people can grow personally, we naturally strongly believe in first-time founders who show these characteristics. We don't have a specific CV in mind, when we look for perfect founders, we look for people who gathered special insights in an industry, market, problem or technology. When you surprise the experts in your field with your thoughts, then we should talk. 💡 🌍 𝗪𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁. We look for teams who discovered an unsolved problem and aim to break through the status quo. Those potential breakthroughs can be rooted in science or technology of new or improved deployment of existing climate solutions. We value transformational changes over efficiency improvements. Our greenhouse gas savings threshold is the potential to save 10 million tons CO2e per year after 10 years from now, but we love to see cases with even much higher impact potential. We are technology and business case agnostic: industrial hardware, biotech, nature-based solutions, data-driven software or renewables deployment, we look at high impact breakthroughs in all categories. 🤝 🏆 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀' 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. We are not the ones you start your fundraise with, we are the ones you prepare your fundraise with. Unlike most others we don't wait for inflection points, we anticipate them and we don't wait for traction, but we push you for crystal clear validation. We want to be your most favorable investor and even more we want to be your strongest ally even before we have invested. Interesting for you or someone you know? Have a look at our remote program and apply until tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/diWDSpnw Even if this thesis is quite new, our portfolio already and especially the investments in the last two years reflect it well:

🚨 Some Personal News: After many years building and developing state-of-the-art products in Big Data, AI, and Quantum within startups, I have switched sides to help identify and build ventures with disruptive potential in these areas. I'm extremely excited that SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen has given me the opportunity to leverage my experiences in these fields and offer them to many more people across the German and European #tech ecosystems. SPRIND truly is a hub for disruptive innovations and an inspiring place to work. Thanks, Rafael, for building such a unique organization! What am I interested in for the short and medium term? 👉 Making industry data much more accessible and shareable. If Europe is to succeed in becoming more sovereign in high-tech development, this is one of the most important challenges to tackle. Without data, there is no AI, and we will lose the race. 👉 Smart and vertically integrated sensors. In this time of ever-expanding data and the need for real-time analysis, I believe the path forward to generating more powerful AI is to decentralize the processing. I’m excited to see the emergence of AI and/or quantum-enhanced sensors that process information already on-chip with relevant context given by a higher-level entity. 👉 Simulate everything! Many problems in AI are notoriously hard due to the lack of sufficient data combined with the slow timescales to create new data. Examples include anything connected to physical assets such as supply chains or economic policies. It remains a formidable challenge to create simulators for all these scenarios that let us speed up data generation and hypothesis testing. These are just some general thoughts. If you’re ideating or scaling in the space around AI, sensors, and Quantum, please reach out. I am always excited to hear about all the amazing ideas that our ecosystem is working on. #sprunginnovation #sprind #ai #ki #bigdata #quantum #sensors
