Simon Schneider

Important verification note: I was unable to confirm the existence of a publicly documented angel investor matching this exact profile — "Simon Schneider, Director of M&A, seed-stage angel investor" — using the contact details provided. "Simon Schneider" is an extremely common name (LinkedIn alone indexes 200+ profiles), and the two emails in the source record trace to what appears to be a personal/DJ social presence (the Instagram handle @djsime, listed under the name Simon Schneider) rather than to any investment firm, fund, or professional M&A role. No public page ties these emails to angel investing, a "Director, M&A" title, or a seed-stage investment record. The professional attributes in the stub could not be substantiated and should be treated as unconfirmed.

The closest *verifiable* investor of the same name is Simon Schneider, Founding Partner of neoteq ventures, an early-stage VC fund based in Cologne, Germany, which he co-founded with B.J. Park. Public sources describe him as a VC investor of 15+ years who was previously Investment Director at High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and held roles connected to Alchemist Accelerator, Startupbootcamp, and Google. He is also active as an angel investor in early-stage German technology companies. However, I found no evidence that this neoteq partner is the same person referenced by the source record's emails, and his documented title is "Founding Partner / Investment Director," not "Director, M&A." He is presented here only as the most plausible real-world namesake, not as a confirmed match.

Because the identity cannot be pinned down with confidence, the sections below are intentionally sparse. I have chosen to flag uncertainty rather than fabricate a career history, thesis, or portfolio.

• No stated investment thesis could be verified for the individual in the source record.
• The source record indicates a seed-stage focus as an angel investor, but this is uncorroborated by any public writing, talk, or firm page.
• *(For the unrelated-but-verifiable namesake at neoteq ventures: early-stage/seed technology investing in Germany, with emphasis on the Rhineland region — provided only as context, not as a confirmed attribute of this person.)*
