About

👋 Hello! I’m Dr. Priscilla Schelp! I’m a Swiss-German VC, entrepreneur and disaster resilience expert with a PhD from Cranfield School of Management, where I researched how disaster-induced disruptions affect global supply chains and firm performance. My mission? Prevent the bad and support the good! Prevent the bad: With our VC fund Global Resilience Innovation Fund (GRIF), we invest in technologies that increase resilience, focusing on defence, aviation and space, critical infrastructure, (cyber)security, and disaster management. Support the good: With my leading curation and discreet PR agency networkx, we curate Europe's C-level / HNI guest lists, award juries, and awards in business, AI, cybersecurity, and resilience — while also helping select clients gain influence and reach through discreet PR, safeguarding reputations and sensitive information. We are proud to be trusted by Handelsblatt, WELT, Wirtschaftswoche, and more on the curation side and to be trusted by family offices and security companies on the PR side. Feel free to connect if we have shared values, missions, and synergy/business potential!
