Philipp Schroeder founded his first company at 25 before becoming a venture capital investor, and he still talks about serving entrepreneurs rather than just picking deals, having helped start Hamburg's Next Logistics Accelerator and now leading Endeit's DACH investing from its Hamburg base after working with the firm as a Venture Partner. People who've worked with him describe him as honest, direct, and supportive, someone who values trust and long-term relationships over quick networking, and who has actively supported colleagues' careers, including helping a former colleague grow into one of the leading female VCs in Europe.
