Dr. Gesa Miczaika invests with a specific rule: at Auxxo, she backs female-led and mixed teams only when women hold around 20% or more of the company, since she sees ownership share, not just founder gender, as what actually drives decision-making power. Beyond investing, she built Evangelistas, a network of over 120 female business angels in Germany, and holds a formal policy role as Deputy President of the German Startups Association, making her someone focused on fixing structural barriers in venture, like ownership, access, and who gets to invest, rather than just picking startups.
