The former manager of the bottle invests in this start-up

With its e-learning platform, the Berlin-based edtech was able to convince not only Stephen Weich but, according to a media report, a total of 40 business angels.

The start-up Junto is said to have raised 1.2 million euros in the form of a convertible loan, according to German Startups reports. A total of 40 business angels are said to have invested in the company. These include Christian Reber (Pitch), Felix Ohswald and Gregor Müller (Gostudent), Stephen Weich (Flaschenpost), footballer Mario Götze and business influencers Diana zur Löwen and Céline Flores Willers.

"The most relevant business knowledge in the world is currently trapped in the heads of a small group of leading tech operators and their successful companies," writes the start-up. Junto founders Marius Hepp and Johannes Schnell-Kretschmer want to make this knowledge accessible to a wider audience. To this end, the company, founded in 2022, has developed a digital leadership training course. The courses are to be led by Nina Weid (Delivery Hero), Jessica Holzbach (Penta) and Markus Müller (N26), among others.

"Our vision goes far beyond a learning platform: with Junto, we are giving companies and talents access to the practical tools of the most successful tech companies. This gives them the chance to develop their full potential," co-founder Hepp is quoted as saying by Deutsche Startups.
