Saxon Business Angel Day

Kupfersaal Leipzig | Kupfergasse 2 | 04109 Leipzig

Next Level Angel Investing: New spin-off strategies - How angels in Saxony can benefit from them and why the investment performance of mixed start-up and investor teams is more successful.

How can Saxony experience a spin-off boom?

The Saxon Business Angel Day 2025 will focus on new strategies to make spin-offs more successful in practice and explain how business angels can benefit from this at an early stage. We will also discuss the topic of diversity in angel pools and founding teams and its impact on the success of a start-up.

The number of patents held by German universities remains high. In the key panel , we will present exciting new strategies to increase the number of successful spin-offs, discuss their advantages and disadvantages and their applicability in Germany and Saxony.

"Diversity" - for some a buzzword, for others fundamental. We discuss whether start-ups with a mix of male and female founders, with international and multidisciplinary backgrounds are really more successful. We also discuss whether angel syndicates should also pay attention to a good mix of female and male investors in their team - in the Unity in Diversity panel.

Start-up pitches

You can also look forward to pitches from the latest and most promising Saxon start-ups, including 1:1 discussions.

Marco Schnell

Project Manager

Capital Transfer: Business Angels

Variety - is the name on the former banker's CV. After additional training in the creative arts in South Africa, Marco Schnell started his own business as a creative trainer in Mecklenburg. He later gained further experience abroad during two years of intercultural studies in Argentina and Chile. His interest in foreign cultures and languages, as well as in connecting people, then led him back to Germany, where he worked as a project manager supporting an association in bringing refugee families together on a European level.

For private reasons, he then moved to Leipzig. Here he came into contact with the Saxon start-up world. With his communication skills, the bridge builder was alternately responsible for communication, sales, HR and business development in three start-ups before taking up his last position as Head of Marketing.

He alternates between the bouldering wall, the swimming pool, the bicycle and for finger sports: his piano.
