Ukrainischer Verein Frankfurt am Main e.V.

One of our most remarkable achievements so far has been our collaboration with the Ukrainian Association Frankfurt am Main e.V. This esteemed institution provides vital support to approximately 350 Ukrainian children and young adults, offering comprehensive assistance in language enrichment, social integration through recreational activities, and aid in processing the psychological aftermath of conflict.

Thanks to the contribution from PHINEO gAG, we were able to provide brand-new laptops to several students and educators of the Saturday School. These laptops open new avenues for efficient, self-directed learning and research for students. Moreover, they facilitate personal connections with friends and relatives who remain in Ukraine. For teachers, the laptops represent an opportunity to infuse their teaching with innovation, practicality, and vibrancy – offering online lessons and organizing virtual interactions with the students who continue to reside in Ukraine.

Evangelische Gemeinde Ober-Eschbach / Ober-Erlenbach

The Evangelische Kirchengemeinde OBER-ESCHBACH is actively committed to supporting refugees from Ukraine who have had to leave their homeland due to immense hardship. They assist them in finding housing, among other things. Additionally, the community supports Ukrainian children with music lessons and organizes holiday programs and recreational activities to give them a break from the horrors of war. By doing so, they provide Ukrainian families with a welcome respite from the violence and destruction prevailing in their homeland. In 2023, Vertevis Capital Partners financially supported the community in realizing the “timeout" for the children. Sufficient donations have also been collected for 2024.

Maria Baumgartner

Speedinvest Heroes | Advisory Board

Maria’s diverse and successful professional history has one common denominator: a desire to truly get to know people. This curiosity has driven Maria from her early days as a startup founder and young political activist up until today as general manager of Speedinvest Heroes.

“The moment when you connect with another person and challenge him/her towards a new set of possibilities is what I love the most!”, says Maria.

This social skill set, practiced over many years in various leadership positions and professional training (such as a Master degree in Mediation) is a crucial asset for Speedinvest Heroes. Building out our network of talents and then quickly matching the potential of a given candidate with the right opportunity in our portfolio, is where Maria excels like no one else.

Maria’s personal working history starts 1992 in the early internet area. As the GM of one of the first big dot.com success stories coming out of Austria (Datenwerk/Blue-C), she saw her company grow to an agency group with more than 200 employees across Europe, including an IPO at the “Neue Markt”. Having sold her stake early enough before the bust, Maria continued her entrepreneurial path that included managing a research think tank on Artificial Intelligence (long before the hype), spending time in Silicon Valley and, eventually, helping to found Speedinvest as the first business angel fund in Austria.

For Maria, having gone through many diverse roles and businesses, this approach comes natural, as does her positive attitude towards people in general.
