Agenda
Past Events
6:00 PM – 6:45 PM
In the 3rd episode of our season 2 we feel thrilled to present Atlantic Labs, one of the most successful early stage VC in Berlin's tech scene. You may not be familiar with their name, but what if I tell you they were the early investor of SoundCloud, GetYourGuide, Omio and Gorillas?
In this webinar we'd introduce you the Atlantic Founder Associate program, a one year internship program during which you would work at Atlantic Labs' 3 portolio ventures and receive mentoring from Atlantic Labs' VC core team. It suits aspiring entrepreneurs who'd like to work at the heartland of Europe's digital economy but don't feel you are quite there yet to be a founder now.
6:00 PM – 6:45 PM
In the 2nd episode of our season 2 we feel more than happy to do a recurring session with Next Big Thing AG, a venture studio with a focus in IoT empowered startups.
NBT is actively recruiting for the next cohort of Entrepreneur in Residence, so this webinar is for more established/experienced professionals who’d like to become a startup founder.

Leopold zu Schleswig Holstein
Venture Architect and IE alumnus
Bridgemaker (Berlin)
https://www.linkedin.com/in/leopold-schleswig-holstein/
I decided to study BBA in Segovia / Madrid for the entrepreneurial spirit, the hands-on mentality, the people and of course the location. During my studies (2012-2016) I did internships across Europe in several industries (consumer goods, startups, consulting etc.) and an exchange semester in Boston. Having graduated I knew I wanted to work in the startup sphere in the long run, so I did an internship at a VC in Switzerland before accepting a job offer at EY's transaction advisory. EY was great for me to dig deeper into the hard skills of finance, which I knew I would eventually need. Having worked there for 2 years I decided to follow my passion for tech and innovation enrolling for a master in business analytics in London to learn programming. The same passion brought me to Bridgemaker, where I am now happily working as a Venture Architect since the beginning of the year.
