\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> What motivated you to start the company?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>I had a fantastic career at renowned companies like Pioneer Investments (now Amundi) and Morningstar. When I started my dream job as Managing Director of Morningstar Germany, it was clear to me that I could only do something on my own afterward. What I would do has matured over time. I observed that too many women didn't take care of their money and often blindly trusted their partners, sometimes with drastic consequences. I wanted to change that and founded Hermoney<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> What would you have liked to have known before starting your first business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>What value a co-founder can have in complementing one's own skill set.

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> How has your company been financed so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>I founded the company with my own money and financed it from cash flow. As we expanded our product range, we Business Angels<\/a> added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlways be open to a conversation, it could be worth a lot of money!\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> When and where do you get the best ideas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>Sunday morning at my kitchen table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> What are your 3 favorite work tools?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>Slack, Zoom and LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> Your top tip on pitching?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>Always be open to a conversation, it could be worth a lot of money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> Does this seem like a good time to start a business? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>There's always a good time for a good idea. Today, people are taking a closer look, and not every idea is simply funded without intensively questioning the business model. That's a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> Which technology or industry would you focus on for your next startup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>I would stay in my area because I know it best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: More space for social impact business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> In your opinion, what could be improved at the Munich startup location?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>There should be more space for social impact businesses so that these companies have time to become sustainably profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em><\/strong> Which founder would you like to meet in person? And what would you ask them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Connelly: <\/em>Philipp Westermeyer of OMR. How did he successfully build a modern media brand?<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
