Kitty Hawk moments
since ‘15.

In 2015 we launched the incubator of Germany's largest campus entrepreneurship association. There we supported startups that subsequently raised more than 500M Euro incl. multiple exits. At First Momentum Ventures, we follow this path and invest with a deeply entrepreneurial “From Founders to Founders” mindset.

FIRST MOMENTUM FAMILY.
