I am Philipp Moehring. Quite obviously, this is my blog.

Here, you can read about topics such as technology, corporate strategy, internet start ups, new gadgets and toys, my favourite books, and everything else. I might also bore you with minutiae from my daily life – no matter if it interests you or not.

I joined Seedcamp in London as an Associate (read about my change of jobs here if you are interested) in June 2010. I am responsible for the organisation of our Seedcamp events, managing our network of investors and mentors, the Seedcamp selection and investment process and other more general tasks like buying cupcakes for my awesome colleagues.

Before, I worked as an Investment Manager at DuMont Venture, an early stage venture capital investor in internet and digital media companies. I was busy with analyzing and researching new investment opportunities, preparing financing rounds for new and exisiting portfolio companies and consulting and supporting those companies in both operations and strategy. I also worked as the High-Tech-Gründerfonds, a public private partnership fund that invests in German early stage companies in all areas of technology. There, I wrote my master’s thesis on the success factors of start ups looking for venture capital backing.

I studied in the Netherlands (Uni Maastricht, Bachelor International Business), the USA (Gainesville, University of Florida), Switzerland (HEC and EPF Lausanne, master in management of technology and entrepreneurship), and Argentina (Insitituto Tecnologico de Buenos Aires). Besides this, I worked, interned, and consulted in a number of start ups and technology companies.

Reading, photography, and cooking are my passions. When time permits, I like to travel (light and far) and see new things. I am intrigued by human history and technology, and I use my speedreading superpower to learn as much as possible about these. In my youth, i was an actor, a boy scout, hip hop DJ, shoe salesman, Lego addict and basketball player. I am certain that all these things are still in me today.

I am happy to be contacted through email, Twitter, Linkedin, Xing, or Facebook. If you meet me in real life, don’t be shy to say hello.
