We are thrilled to announce that Janick Wagner and Richard Keuntje have joined Creandum as analysts. Both individuals bring a wealth of experience and expertise to our team and will play a crucial role in identifying and investing in the most promising startups around the world.

Janick, based in our Berlin office, comes with a solid background to Creandum. He has previously worked at Commerzbank, Lazard and at Goetzpartners corporate finance gmbh. In addition, Janick has an impressive educational background, having studied at the University of St. Gallen, NYU Stern in New York, and HEC Paris. We believe that Janick’s unique combination of experience and education will be an asset to our team as we continue to identify and support the most innovative startups in the technology sector.

Richard, based in our London office, also brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Creandum. He has previously worked at N26, Pleo, Nauta Capital and Heyday where he served as Entrepreneur in Residence. Richard has also studied at the Copenhagen Business School and at the LSE London. We are confident that Richard’s background in both corporate and startup environments will be invaluable as we evaluate and invest in companies across the UK and European markets.

We got to know Janick and Richard during their time as Visiting Analysts at Creandum last year and we were blown away by their skills and charm. So we decided to make them an offer they couldn’t refuse. And they didn’t. Now they’re officially part of our family, and we couldn’t be happier. 🚀 💪

At Creandum, we are committed to finding and supporting the most innovative and disruptive startups around the world. We believe that Janick and Richard will play a critical role in helping us achieve this goal and we look forward to working with them as we continue to build the future of venture capital.

Janick, and Richard, we are looking forward to continuing the work with you across our hubs in Stockholm, Berlin, London and San Francisco.
