Christian Miele

“During my time at e.ventures I had the pleasure to work with Christian side by side in the investment team. Like all team members, Christian really impersonates the entrepreneurial spirit that surrounds the VC from Analyst to Partner. Working together with him on a day-by-day basis, I was deeply impressed by his passionate work attitude and enormous eagerness to get stuff done. This inner drive really pushed me personally and taught me how to really use each day to the fullest. From day one, I did not only assist him on several exciting projects, but was given enormous responsibility and was able to join him on countless startup pitches. During these meetings, I recognized his extremely quick understanding of business models and his ability to instantly connect with founders. You realize that Christian also once sat on the other side of the VC table and that he truly builds his judgment based on his own vast experience with internet startups and company founding in the past. Throughout the entire time, I perceived Christian mostly as a mentor and was extremely thankful for the countless advice I received on a daily basis! Even two years later, we are still in close contact and he has been extremely supportive along the way with recommendations for future steps as well as with connecting me to lots of people in the scene. I sincerely hope that we will cross ways in the future again, as working with Christian is not only extremely effective, but also a great pleasure with a lot of fun involved!”

“Working for Christian didn’t simply exceed my expectations - it completely changed what I expect from any future job relationship! At first, I was impressed that he had gained an unbelievable wealth of experience through Bertelsmann, Rocket Internet, Todaytickets and Kreditech - but then I was blown when I saw how hard working, humble and determined he is. In case you’re unsure what a leader, a mentor, a hustler or a network superstar is, forget any business book/school definition - Christian is the perfect example! Christian made it very clear from the first day that I wasn’t there to do his boring work - not only was I working on exciting projects from the start, but he was constantly giving me constructive feedback and teaching me the small secrets of the job. His ability to push people and bring the best out of everyone is out of this world. I’ve never felt as motivated and hungry to learn as during my time working with Christian and the e.ventures team! Maybe one of the weirdest things about Christian is that, despite having a full calendar every day and being a full time networking machine, no message goes unanswered. Whether it is an Email, WhatsApp or Snapchat, you can always expect a very fast and pertinent response. I haven’t quite discovered this secret yet. Even after finishing my internship, I definitely see Christian as a mentor and friend - there’s not much advice I take more seriously than his! On top of that he’s been extremely helpful with connecting me to people in the industries and making great recommendations to further my career. If anyone gets a chance to work with Christian, it would be a big mistake to miss the opportunity!”
