About this event
A candid conversation with Stefan Menden and Christopher Zemina on what it actually takes to go from writing solo cheques to leading your own syndicate. Built for angels ready to scale.
Most angels invest alone. They write their cheque, wait for updates, and hope for the best. Stefan Menden and Christopher Zemina didn't stop there. Stefan has backed 14+ companies, founded HR Angels Club, and built one of the most active deal networks in the DACH region. Chris co-founded Future Fund with 200+ founders and operators behind him and used that community to lead deals alongside his own investing.
Going from angel to syndicate lead isn't just about writing a bigger cheque. It's a different game entirely.
Join us on June 17th at 12pm CET for a live conversation with Stefan Menden and Christopher Zemina, moderated by Christian Lang from Roundtable, where we break down how DACH's most active angels actually lead deals, and what it takes to build a community that follows you.
