​Selma Meryem Peters - Community Lead of European Women in Venture Capital and Investor at amberra

​I have been deeply involved in the German startup ecosystem since the age of 18.​ My experience extends to fostering social entrepreneurial projects, working in venture capital, facilitating corporate-startup collaborations, and building an investment platform for VC fund investments.

As a community lead at European Women in VC, I manage and build relationships with general partners and limited partners. In my day job I am building a new corporate venture capital fund at amberra to invest in beyond-banking business models for one of the biggest banking groups in Germany (Genossenschaftliche Finanzgruppe).
