Christina Lim

Christina Lim is a Founding Partner at Cygnet Ventures GmbH, a Frankfurt-based early-stage investment firm. Cygnet describes itself as a group of principal investors who invest their own money, support portfolio companies with advice, coordinate access to a network of advisors and executives, and help attract third-party investors where useful.

Before Cygnet, Lim worked in the information and communication industry. Her Cygnet biography says she previously served as Senior VP Business Controlling for Siemens Mobile, where her work involved business functions across intercultural environments, startup activity, and post-merger integration.

At Cygnet, Lim is part of a founding-partner team focused on helping young companies scale. Her stated personal-professional theme is: “Seek to empower and impact the world we live in.” She describes Cygnet’s role as partnering with associates and entrepreneurs through “business intricacies towards joint success.”

• Cygnet’s stated digital-business focus includes companies with a “digital transformation game plan,” a recurring revenue model, and “trend-setting B2B technologies.”
