OCCIDENT Workshop in Hamburg

Investing in start-ups is based on mutual trust and good cooperation. Our investment team has grown this year, and so we took the time to professionalize the topic of communication in a workshop in Hamburg. In addition to talking about our own motivation and inspiration for our job, we also had time to get to know each other better away from our everyday work.
