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.

News Lunaphore

In an interview with CNN Money, Ata Tuna Ciftlik, CEO and co-founder of our portfolio company Lunaphore, gives a great insight into how Lunaphore is revolutionizing tumor tissue analysis and individualizing therapies for cancer patients. His reflections on the cultural aspects of fundraising and the differences in investment strategies in Europe, America and China are also quite interesting.

Offsite Team Meeting in Munich

In August we spent our offsite in Munich. As a team, we were able to deepen our knowledge in the areas of life sciences and digital with exciting topics in the Deutsches Museum, as well as gain exclusive insight behind the scenes of two of our portfolio companies. A Segway tour through the city, the numerous culinary highlights and a visit to Occident’s new offices rounded off the positive impression of Munich and increased the anticipation of further exciting investments.
