Germany, Austria, Switzerland) to Mittelstand family companies mainly in the manufacturing industry. cannobe – Update after My Personal Turning Point Following my personal life-changing experience, cannobe has evolved. We are moving away from the classic community approach (“become a member and network”) towards individualized matching. Our focus is now on the concerns, ideas, inspiration, plans, and projects of curious and active people 50plus. Naturally, this creates a network of outstanding personalities 50plus – but unlike before, this community spirit is not the main focus. Instead, startups will be presented in a tailored way through our newsletters. They are no longer members themselves. Invitation to invest in Attached you will find my investment offer for you. To anchor the cannobe philosophy broadly, I am offering co-ownership opportunities under the following terms: • Private individuals: from €7,500 (0.5% company share) • Businesses of any kind: from €15,000 (1.0% company share) • I am looking for active shareholders who will enrich our community with ideas for members, sponsors, and partners. This is relevant both for entrepreneurs with a clear interest in the 50plus generation as well as for private individuals. For interested parties, I am happy to arrange a personal meeting. A current business plan is, of course, available. Of course you are still welcome to enquire „just“ for membership (encl.) I welcome your comments & ideas!
