When we launched Germany's first independent media for equity fund in 2011, we knew it was not going to be easy. We were the first to pool media from several premium German media groups and provide them with a single investment and startup management vehicle. In this way, we are building a powerful bridge between media companies and high growth consumer startups. As our partner for this unique challenge, we chose our friends from Pinsent Masons and the team around Tobias Rodehau. We needed a legal advisor at our side who not only could cover the important foundations we needed to set up and run our business, but also to think beyond the conventional to build something completely new and innovative. Now that we have more than 50 media partners and have invested over 150M EUR in rate card media into 23 companies, we know we could not have done this without Pinsent Masons.
