Who this is
Vicky Klich was born in Frankfurt and, with no entrepreneurial background at home, chose to study at CODE University in Berlin. That is where she met Henrik Bredenbals. After school Henrik trained as an industrial clerk at a large automotive supplier, joined an entrepreneurship programme at 19 and then studied product management at CODE University. After receiving a scholarship, the two moved into the NFT space and, together with Feliks Eyser, Andre and Tim, set up the Web3 fund that grew into W3 Group: the venture fund W3 Ventures, the liquid token fund W3 Wave, the staking provider W3 Labs and the W3 Hub coworking space at Berlin's Gleisdreieck. Vicky runs community and content, manages the W3 Hub and gives keynotes; Henrik works as a fund manager with the founders in the portfolio.
