Finn is a serial entrepreneur and business angel with a strong passion for product, brand and technology aiming to find the perfect balance between visionary ideas, creativity and best-in-class execution.
We will discuss his first preliminary encounter with entrepreneurship, when he founded THE ICONIC, to the turnaround story of Movinga, the European platform for house removals that was seemingly written off back in 2016, but closed a €22 million funding round in October last year.
We will also share key insights from his parallel activity as Business Angel for multiple Berlin start-ups including CrossEngage, SMACC and Einhorn. And we will not leave without tasting his latest venture - Berliner Berg, a local Berlin-based Craft Beer brewery!
