About the Author:
Christian Neumann

I earned a double degree in Strategic Management and Technology Management from WU and Bocconi, which fueled my early interest in startups and technology. My career has spanned the entire startup lifecycle, from pre-seed stages to unicorn status, giving me a profound insight into the dynamics of scaling high-impact ventures. I joined Razor Group during their most significant growth phase, where I witnessed the company become a unicorn in just 15 months—one of the fastest trajectories in European startup history.

Subsequently, I joined First Momentum Ventures, where I am the longest-standing team member aside from the partners. Here, I'm most excited about engaging with some of Europe's most ambitious tech founders from the onset of their journeys, observing their unwavering passion as they transform their visions into tangible realities. My deep interest in technology software and hardware, particularly their synergy, has made me an engineer at heart, if not by degree. This unique perspective enhances my ability to support and understand the multifaceted needs of the startups we invest in.
