VC Sounding Board: HTGF
The VC Sounding Boards are back. Every month, a fund from ETH Investor Connect is spending a few hours in our Oerlikon tower office to spar with founders from ETH, one-on-one. This is not a pitch, and neither is it a get-to-know coffee; it’s a place to throw around thoughts and untangle the disarray of building.
On 16 November our offices will be taken over by Hannah Kamm from HTGF. With a background in chemical and process engineering (she actually studied here at ETH), she's now investing as part of their industrial, climate and deep tech team. She’d love to have a chat, especially if you match the following:
Stage: Pre-seed/seed
Primary industry: generalist deep tech
Want to spar on anything early-stage company building, incl. scaling hardware
Over the course of the day, we’ll have 5 slots which you can apply for; you can indicate which one(s) you’d prefer on the registration page.* These sessions are open to any and all builders at ETH!

* Please note: We want the VC Sounding Boards to be a space where you can be specific, go deep, and spar in an actionable way - not simply provide you with generic advice. For this reason, we need to make sure that there’s a good match between your needs and stage, and the investor’s competence and focus - in practice this means that we’ll allocate the slots based on fit as well as on when you register. Don’t worry if there isn’t a match this time; our investor community is diverse and chances are high that there’ll be a fit with another fund!
