20Europe is a new series profiling European ecosystems. Each episode is a roundtable format featuring investors based in countries including Germany, France, UK, Sweden and more. Half of the show will focus on how these local ecosystems operate, with the other half focused more generally on the tech and venture landscape. For Episode 1, we profile Germany. I was joined by Filip Dames, Co-Founder of Cherry Ventures and Dom Wilhelm, Headline Ventures most recently announced Partner. The format for 20Europe is consistent across show, with questions including: What makes your local ecosystem tick? What are the key founder traits that are unique to your ecosystem? Do VCs collaborate in your ecosystem? Should Seed companies raise money from multi-stage funds? What's the difference between a good company and a good deal? What the f*** is value add?
