Aschenbrenners Margin Call: Warum der Hebel die KI-These kippte – Björn Rieckhoff

from Startup Insider · host Jan Thomas, Björn Rieckhoff (Independent Advisor & Business Angel), Zoe Angelis, Lucas Lehmann

35 Milliarden Dollar verloren? Warum diese Zahl in die Irre führt. Björn Rieckhoff, Independent Advisor und Business Angel, ordnet bei Investments & Exits mit Jan Thomas den Fall Leopold Aschenbrenner ein: Hedgefonds, Margin Call, Ken Griffin und die Frage, warum eine richtige KI-These am Hebel scheitern kann. Mit klarer Parallele zu deutschen VC-Portfolios. Über den Gast Björn Rieckhoff ist Independent Advisor und Business Angel und war knapp zehn Jahre im Early-Stage-Venture-Capital aktiv. Er baute Cavalry Ventures als erster Mitarbeiter mit auf, wurde dort später Partner und war an über 80 Transaktionen sowie zahlreichen Board- und Observer-Mandaten von der Seed- bis zur Series-B-Phase beteiligt. Heute unterstützt Björn Gründerinnen und Gründer direkt beim Fundraising, von der Story über das Geschäftsmodell bis zum schlanken Prozess. Als Wirtschaftsingenieur mit MBA bringt er interdisziplinäres Verständnis für Branchen wie Proptech, Healthtech und Procuretech mit und ordnet als Kapitalmarkt-Kenner die Warnsignale rund um den KI-Investitionsboom ein.
