Real estate is a driver of both the overall economy and of individual wealth, and with a total value of over $228 trillion, it is the largest asset class in the world. How can venture capital funding support the digitalization of an industry, otherwise resistant to change? What is the massive opportunity, targeted by PropTech start-ups and which is the VC fund in Europe, best positioned to address the untapped potential of real estate industry innovation? The next #EcosystemGiants is truly special*! It is a pleasure to welcome Nikolas Samios (Managing Partner, PropTech1 Ventures) at 6pm CET (5pm BST) on Tuesday, 25 May 2021! Nikolas founded one of Europe’s leading PropTech VC funds (and the first one out of Germany!) and is a well-known thought leader in the venture capital ecosystem on the continent, with over two decades of experience in the start-up scene. Throughout his career, he has accompanied more than 100 transactions (companies from seed stage all the way to IPO). His deep expertise in venture capital methodology is continuously shared in renowned online publications and his book DEALTERMS.VC (co-authored with Anja Arnold) has become a must-read resource for founders and investors in the DACH region and beyond, looking to better understand how venture capital financing and negotiation work.
