Dusseldorf Erotic shop founder Lea-Sophie Cramer, heating engineer Max Viessmann and soccer world champion Mario Götze have one thing in common: They have entrusted their money to the Visionaries Club. A young investment company that finances start-ups on the one hand, and wants to improve the exchange and cooperation between founders, investors, entrepreneurs and politicians on the other.
One of the co-founders of the Visionaries Club is Robert Lacher, who founded Amaze seven years ago, a fashion portal that he later sold to Zalando. Since then he has been active as an investor.
In the Handelsblatt Disrupt podcast, Lacher explains why he has always dreamed of the job as an investor, where the strengths of the start-up scene in Germany lie – and why the heyday of German tech companies is only just beginning.
When it comes to software, medium-sized companies are the largest market in the world, says Lacher. However, this market has not yet been developed. And German start-ups in particular are particularly well positioned in this field.
