Nach der Geldgeberin Luciana Lixandru holt der weltbekannte Wagniskapitalgeber Sequoia einen Manager vom Banking-Startup Revolut. In der deutschen Startup-Szene ist der neue Partner George Robson noch unbekannt.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00dcber Monate spekulierte die europ\u00e4ische Startup-Szene, wer den Job bekommen w\u00fcrde: Der Geldgeber Sequoia suchte in Europa nach mehreren Partnern. Als Erstes warb der US-Investor Luciana Lixandru von Accel ab, die auch in Deutschland \u00fcber ein breites Netzwerk verf\u00fcgt. Lixandru wird von hiesigen Wagniskapitalgebern gesch\u00e4tzt. Als zweiter Partner soll lange der Balderton-Partner Suranga Chandratillake im Gespr\u00e4ch gewesen sein, der ebenfalls enge Dr\u00e4hte in die deutsche Digitalwirtschaft besitzt. Doch Chandratillake und Sequoia sind sich offenbar nicht einig geworden.<\/p>\n

Stattdessen macht Sequoia nun George Robson zum zweiten europ\u00e4ischen Partner. Das ist aus mehreren Gr\u00fcnden bemerkenswert: Robson besitzt noch keine Erfahrung als Startup-Investor, er war f\u00fcr drei Jahre bei der Challengerbank Revolut und verantwortete dort das Premium-Produkt. Zuvor arbeitete er f\u00fcr die Investment-Bank Morgan Stanley. Mit 25 Jahren ist er sehr jung, um als Partner bei einem Wagniskapitalgeber einzusteigen.<\/p>\n

Von London aus soll Robson zusammen mit Lixandru und dem internationalen Team nach aussichtsreichen Investments suchen. \u201eWir konzentrieren uns auf den Ausbau unserer Pr\u00e4senz in Europa, damit wir unsere Portfoliounternehmen vor Ort besser unterst\u00fctzen und die besten Gr\u00fcnder so fr\u00fch wie m\u00f6glich treffen k\u00f6nnen\u201c, teilt Robson auf Nachfrage mit. Der neue Partner wird sicherlich seine Fintech-Expertise mit einbringen. Sequoia ist bereits bei vielen internationalen Fintechs beteiligt, etwa dem Zahlungsdienstleister Stripe oder dem brasilianischen Startup Nubank. Er habe in Deutschland ein \u201ewachsendes Netzwerk\u201c, hei\u00dft es von Robson. Mehrere f\u00fchrende deutsche Wagniskapitalgeber kennen Robson bislang nicht.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
