Nico Rosberg recently discussed his latest venture, Rosberg Ventures, and its VC Fund of Funds with Forbes. Despite working tirelessly behind the scenes, Rosberg and his team have already secured 53 million euros in capital. Their recent first close for the second fund amounted to 30 million euros, with a target of reaching 75 million euros.
But Rosberg emphasizes that this initiative goes beyond financial returns. It’s about using capital wisely to drive future-oriented ideas, foster knowledge exchange, and accelerate transformation in economies. He points out Germany’s significant potential in this regard, despite lagging behind in venture capital investments compared to the UK and France.
Highlighting the importance of digitalization for future prosperity, Rosberg stresses the need for strategic investments, particularly in Tier 1 opportunities, to unlock innovation and economic growth across Europe.
Rosberg Ventures aims to invest in top innovations that benefit billions of people. Rosberg draws parallels between his determination in racing and his ambition to achieve this goal as a team.
Following the recent launch, Rosberg is grateful for the engagement and feedback received, emphasizing the critical challenge Rosberg Ventures addresses in Europe. He invites further input and questions from the audience, recognizing their valuable contribution to the initiative’s success.
