Often mentioned as one of the most influential women in the German startup scene, V​erena Pausder​(née Delius) is the co­founder and CEO of Fox & Sheep since 2012. As a digital publisher focused on apps for kids, Fox & Sheep works closely with book authors and illustrators worldwide to create bestsellers such as N​ighty Night​and P​etting Zoo!.​Their dedication to create quality apps for kids and help parents guide their children through the digital world paid off: Fox & Sheep was recently acquired by traditional toy company Haba for an undisclosed sum rumoured to be in the two­digit millions. Before joining Fox & Sheep, Verena worked for Bertelsmann and be2.com. Later, she was responsible for sales at scoyo, before joining goodbeans in 2010 as CEO. She studied Business Administration at the University of St. Gallen. We are looking forward to welcome Verena on stage to share her story and give you the chance to connect with her afterwards. The interview will be led by Christoph Raethke. Christoph has been working in the digital industry for over 17 years. He has run two semesters of the Founder Institute and is the founder of the Berlin Startup Academy — Berlin’s boutique, independent Startup Accelerator. He is a frequent speaker at international events and renown for his critical and thought­provoking views. Our event takes place in the St. Oberholz apartments. As the central meeting point of Berlin's digital scene, there could be no better setting for our intimate “fireside chat” interviews.
