#ACTON25 - Leveraging the learnings of six startup generations (part 10): All products deserve a second life - that’s the principle of the circular economy. Berlin-based re-commerce pioneer momox has turned trading pre-loved media and fashion items into a successful business. Founded by Christian Wegner in 2006, momox has bought and sold more than 300 million articles since launch and has surpassed €300 million in annual revenues. Be it the next trailblazing unicorn, or the hidden industry champion — there is no one-size-fits-all journey to long-term value. Behind every time and each pioneer there is a unique story worth telling. As part of Acton Capital's 25th anniversary, we aim to tell those pioneer stories again for passing on the learnings of prior startup generations to the next – stay tuned! https://lnkd.in/dyKzGQ3

#ACTON25 - Leveraging the learnings of six startup generations (part 9) –When Susanne and Christoph Botschen founded Mytheresa in 2006, it was little more than the online version of their luxury womenswear store Theresa in Munich. Today, the online pioneer has become the go-to destination in the luxury fashion industry with customers in more than 130 countries and annual sales of close to €800 million. Be it the next trailblazing unicorn, or the hidden industry champion — there is no one-size-fits-all journey to long-term value. Behind every time and each pioneer there is a unique story worth telling. As part of Acton Capital's 25th anniversary, we aim to tell those pioneer stories again for passing on the learnings of prior startup generations to the next – stay tuned! https://lnkd.in/dX5bEkr

We also explored a compelling case study together, sparking engaging discussions and fresh perspectives. Thank you, Innovis VC and all the brilliant students, for your curiosity and energy.

#ACTON25 - Leveraging the learnings of six startup generations (part 8) – How AlphaSights became one of the torch bearers of the expert economy. Making good decisions is already challenging under the best of circumstances and even the smartest leaders need access to relevant and reliable knowledge. They are looking for perspective gained through a deeper, human understanding of how things work rather than pure information. AlphaSights connects decision and deal makers to the knowledge they need to make smart decisions for their organization. Founded by two Stanford fellows in London amid the Lehman crisis in 2008 — and since then supported by a VC from Munich — the company is now the world’s leading knowledge broker. With its global pool of specialists and insights into any kind of market, AlphaSights has thus become one of the torch bearers of the rising expert economy. Be it the next trailblazing unicorn, or the hidden industry champion — there is no one-size-fits-all journey to long-term value. Behind every time and each pioneer there is a unique story worth telling. As part of our 25th anniversary, we aim to tell those pioneer stories again for passing on the learnings of prior startup generations to the next – stay tuned! https://lnkd.in/dDTntwy
