About ETI Ventures
The foundation of ETI Ventures is a remarkable story of enduring friendship, unwavering determination and a shared dream. The story of success commenced a few years ago on one of the highest peaks in the world: Mount Kilimanjaro.
ETI’s co-founders, Frederic Lanz and Björn Kemper, share more than just a business relationship. They are best friends and soul mates who decided to embark on the challenging journey of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro together. Reaching the summit, they made a pact. They vowed to face not only this mountain together, but also any future challenges life might present.
In the clarity of that moment, the foundation for today’s activities combined in ETI Ventures was born. They were convinced that a company’s success is dependent on recognizing potential in emerging talents and committing to a dynamic, innovative approach.
The Kilimanjaro experience taught Frederic and Björn that no goal is insurmountable when met with courage, resilience, and teamwork. Today, they steer ETI Ventures with the same resolve and pioneering spirit that carried them to the mountain’s peak. At ETI Ventures, we see ourselves not merely as investors, but as dedicated partners on your journey towards success.
