Dr. Friedrich Droste combines a PhD in Game Theory with hands-on corporate experience at Bitburger and Henkel, and he sits on the boards of several companies he's invested in, including waterdrop, Infinite Roots, and Sanity Group, rather than just writing checks. He also focuses on industrial biotech and protein science as part of the food system, has helped set up real partnerships like Bitburger's work with Infinite Roots and Ordio, and regularly brings founders and business leaders together through events like Simon Capital's Family Day and Summit.

Simon Capital is the venture arm of a 7th-generation family business, Bitburger, backed by a long-term €105 million commitment that gives it a more patient, permanent structure than typical venture funds. It stands out for turning that family business background into direct, hands-on help—like using Bitburger’s retail and gastronomy connections to get products on shelves and into bars, and drawing on industrial biotech and fermentation expertise to support companies working in that space.
