About Our Guest
Nikolas Samios
Nikolas Samios is Managing Partner of PropTech1 Ventures, the
first venture capital fund focused on PropTech startups in Germany.
For decades, the real estate industry has shied away from true
innovation, but now faces drastic change because of the advancing
digitalization. This creates enormous opportunities for PropTech
startups that focus on the optimization, digitalization, and
disruption of the real estate industry. PropTech1 Ventures is a
joint project of the real estate entrepreneur Marius Marschall and
the COOPERATIVA Venture Group, which Nikolas heads as Managing
Partner. COOPERATIVA is a platform which, based on the experience
of its partner as founders, business angels, venture capital
managers, and limited partners, covers 360° of the venture capital
life cycle: Direct, indirect and LP investments in startups,
support in their fundraising and exit efforts, venture-centric
family office services and the inception and operation of VC funds
in cooperation with leading sector experts.

Insights from this Episode
- If you have a digital file, if you have a digital process, if that's even cloud based, you are a productivity wise in a good position – Nikolas
- It's not a tectonic shift. So all the standards are still there, you see normal deals happening but it's maybe a little bit more investor friendly climate right now than last year - Nikolas
- We are very bullish on green technology because we believe that's the super major trend in a way for the next 10/20 years – Nikolas
- I’ve been doing venture capital for 20 years now, so this is not the first situation that the market changed away, and it was always a good idea to be careful with your valuation – Nikolas
- So if you just look at 20, 30 years of data… more or less the best venture deals have been done after the financial crisis – Nikolas
- As a professional investor, if you're correctly investing, if you pick the right targets, if you've optimized terms - it's a good time to invest - Nikolas
