Dennis Kirpensteijn

I have been active in the German start-up scene over 10 years and have co-founded several companies during that time. After the successful exit of one of these companies to a Fortune 500, I started to support startups as an active angel investor. Today I am the Managing Director of Faraday Venture Partners Germany, an investor network for private individuals. In recent years, I have also been heavily involved in supporting young entrepreneurs as a mentor for Techstars or the Google Launchpad, among others, to help them grow or to help companies such as BMW, Whirlpool or the DZ Bank to better understand and interact with startups. Apart from that, I co founded the German Association of Student Entrepreneurship Associations (Gründermagnet), which now boasts more than 4.000 members.
