Cofounder and CEO of Triangle Venture Capital Group

Uli is one of the founders and CEO of Triangle Venture Capital Group, one of Europe’s leading investors in hightech start-up companies. She is also the CEO of FunderNation, Germany’s only crowdinvesting platform that is run by a team of investment professionals.

 Uli served as Chairwoman of Invest Europe (formerly the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association - EVCA) in 2010-2011. She was also named the most powerful person in private equity for 2010 by REAL DEALS and has been recognised by Dow Jones as one of the 100 most influential women in Europe’s finance industry.

 Throughout her career, Uli served on numerous boards of companies and has been a longstanding board member of the Invest Europe. She currently serves on the board of iPharro, semafora and SemEO. Uli is member of the Space-Tech Advisory Council, the aws Seed Financing Board in Vienna, the Kuratorium of Fraunhofer IMW in Leipzig and the EBAN Space Executive Committee.

 Uli was one of the pioneers in the early internet days, programming BTX (the German internet predecessor) back in ’88. She graduated at the age of 21 from the University of Applied Sciences, Worms with an MBA. Before co-founding Triangle Venture Capital Group in 1996, Uli has been CEO and founder of a number of start-up companies which she later sold successfully.

 Uli is an unflinching optimist and an entrepreneur to the core – so it’s best not tell her something “does not work”. In her leisure time Uli enjoys mountainbiking, snowboarding, ballroom dancing and cooking.
