As co-founder of Kitchen Stories, a highly successful cooking app, Verena Hubertz could have enjoyed stardom in the German startup scene. Instead she decided to move into politics.
Now a member of the Bundestag – the federal German parliament – she tries to apply her learnings from entrepreneurship to create solutions for the greater good of society.
In conversation with investor Albert Wenger, Managing Partner at Union Square Ventures in New York, she discusses work, leadership and how politics can mitigate the impact of rapid technological change on society.
Wenger has long been an outspoken advocate of a Universal Basic Income (UBI). Find out more in his DLD Sync session with Isabell Welpe and his DLD All Stars talk with Laura Brämswig. The title of the DLD Munich session refers to Wenger’s book The World After Capital, which is free to read on the Internet.
