#1 Jörg Sperling - CEO & Co-Founder Altos Advisors

Jörg Sperling, a passionate mountaineer, has been a hightech investor for more than two decades. His investment expertise ranges from the very early stage as an angel investor, institutional & corporate venture capital, to private equity. He was directly involved in almost 50 transactions as an investor, buyer or seller. 

As an electrical engineer by training, we talk about Jörg‘s transition into the investment space and his insights from three of the world‘s leading ecosystems for hightech ventures: the Silicon Valley, Israel and Munich. We also elaborate on the difficulty of creating spin-offs from a research organization and how the founding team needs to be composed in order to be investment-ready. Jörg also gives very helpful advice on how a healthy relationship between founders and their investors should look like.

About the Podcast

Hightech Ventures
Talking about nerds
The Hightech Ventures podcast gives you the inside look at what it takes to create successful science-backed ventures. We truly want to understand the entire process from lab to IPO and hone in on the people involved - entrepreneurs, tech transfer specialists and investors - most of them working backstage, relentlessly. Anna-Lena and Thorsten talk to those getting their hands dirty, those who don't shy away from the complexity but see the opportunity to create lasting impact based on the newest advances in science and technology.
