Piper Wie gut wir sind, zeigt sich in Krisenzeiten

No more pessimism! With her investment decisions and her keen sense for entrepreneurial potential, Jeannette zu Fürstenberg, arguably Germany's most successful venture capitalist, often goes all in. Her mission: to help build bridges between traditional German industry and the startup ecosystem. Her belief: Germany has the know-how and the talent to be at the forefront economically. In her book, she calls for an end to the narrative of the "sick man," urges a return to Germany's historical strength in innovation, and sees unique opportunities, especially in technology, in the connection between traditional companies and AI-driven startups. "I want to help ensure that in ten years, three of the world's ten largest tech companies are European." Jeannette zu Fürstenberg provides deep insights into her work life, including the many educational experiences during her rise to become one of Europe's most respected investors. This not only offers a different perspective on Germany but also presents a very personal portrait of an extraordinary woman. She advocates for a more resilient Europe, for greater courage and dynamism in Germany, and for a drastic reduction in bureaucracy to truly seize the historically unique opportunities currently available for the economy. Jeannette zu Fürstenberg was named Investor of the Year 2022 by Handelsblatt.
