Meet Marius Weber, Marcus Börner, and Oliver Oster - three best friends-turned-founders who've been thick as thieves for more than 20 years. These guys aren't your average entrepreneurs; they're the kind who see a problem and think, "Challenge accepted!"
More than a decade ago, when Europe's VC scene was basically a ghost town, these forward-thinking pals decided to roll up their sleeves and do something about it. They launched one of Germany's first pre-VC deal clubs with an incubator twist and founded additionally to that startups by themselves. Talk about being ahead of the curve! They ended up co-founding 21 companies, which was pretty mind-blowing considering how rare this model was back then. Fast forward to today, and Europe's VC landscape has exploded with over 3,500 funds in the last few years only.
