Before joining DN Capital as the firm's first female partner, Gülsah Wilke built a rare mix of experience as an operator, corporate investor, and strategy consultant, and she now focuses on backing founders working on real problems in health, education, work conditions, and sustainability rather than chasing trends. She also built 2hearts, a career network for people who grew up between cultures like herself, and, shaped by her own story of being steered toward a lower school track before her mother stepped in, she says that background pushes her to look past the obvious startups most investors in Germany and Europe already see.
