Katja Ruhnke grew up as the child of a Munich-based entrepreneurial family. As a trained musical performer and cultural manager, she worked on and behind the stage for 10 years. Entrepreneurship also caught up with her early on in the cultural sector. With her own theater production company, she brought Shakespeare plays to the stage in the form of theater walks. Eventually, her path led her back to Munich and the family business. In the summer of 2019, while searching for new business areas, she became fascinated with the idea of start-up financing and founded CK Venture Capital GmbH together with her sister. Through this investment vehicle, they invest primarily in impact start-ups as business angels. Their portfolio now includes 15 start-up companies. In fall 2021, she published her first book, “Female Money - How Female Investors Are Transforming the Startup World.” She sees it as her mission to promote the development of new ideas and visions and to ensure greater diversity in the ecosystem.
