Being part of First Momentum Ventures' scout community is an amazing opportunity to engrain yourself in the European Deep Tech ecosystem. I've made great connections and constantly get exposed to fascinating ventures and perspectives.
Chris Tagnon (Tech Transfer @ Formula 1 Company)
The community allows you to expand your knowledge in technical and VC topics and provides access to inspiring people from different backgrounds. The First Momentum team lives their motto, „engineers at heart, investors by choice“; they are partners on eye level and super fun!
Jana Jeggle (Chief of Staff, ex-MIT)
The more you put in, the more you get out of it - true for a lot of things in life and very true for FMV. The community is full of wonderful people, and even the founding partners are open to take time to have a coffee with you. It is truly an amazing organization and a huge privilege to be a part of it.
Istvan Keszte (NPI Lead @ Stealth Startup, ex Phlair & Lilium)
The First Momentum’s Scout Community is mature and professional. It is the next step after the student initiatives for all voluntary and ambitious young (future) entrepreneurs.
