YZ Yuanzhe Fu, founder of YUVC invited Konstantin Urban, General Partner at Generations Fund (G-Fund) to be the first ever guest on the YUVC Podcast.

Konstantin is the founder of ex-FSE-listed company Windeln.de, Holtzbrinck Ventures, Parship.com, Experteer.com. Creator of the largest Fantasy Football Game in Germany, Kicker Managerspiel. Former Partner and Managing Director at BCG Digital Ventures, Venture Partner with 42CAP.

Highlights:

YZ: Founding a 200 million euro turnover company, like what's your biggest takeaway?
Konstantin: I would say it's not all about growth. We grew too fast and our operations couldn't hold up with the growth.

YZ: What is the vision of G-Fund?
Konstantin: If you have visions, you have to go to the hospital.

YZ: If you had the chance to say something to yourself, who was just upon graduating from university, what would that be?
Konstantin: The determination in order to reach a goal. It's way more important than intelligence or education or anything like that.
