In this episode I am joined by Alex Hoffmann, where he is responsible for Frontier Tech &amp; sustainability investments out of M Venture’s Science &amp; technology fund. Alex talks about his early learnings and experiences that helped shape his values, and about his global mindset and passion for creativity and innovation. We spoke about the European eco-system for innovation and startups, how he deploys capital, and about Merck’s synergy and interest in the cell based, alternative protein space. Alex outlined how he likes to collaborate and partner with portfolio companies, and what he looks for from founding teams, prior to investing.
