After nearly a decade in tax advisory, primarily focusing on cross-border transactions (M&A) and multinational clients, Angela De Giacomo transitioned to the investment world of the global super-rich.

From 2013 to 2021, she managed the family office of an American Indian business family, overseeing their asset allocation, including direct venture capital investments from sourcing to exit. In 2022, Angela became the Chief Investment Officer for Thomas Falk’s family office, eValue AG, managing a venture capital portfolio with approximately 80 investments (direct and VC funds).  Together with Thomas Falk and Philipp von dem Knesebeck, she is now setting up Vinthera, a hybrid venture fund of funds.

Over the past eleven years, she has overseen investments for two wealthy families across the US, Asia, and Europe, co-investing with multiple families and interacting with hundreds of families and family offices.

Angela is also the author of ‘The Venture Capital Playbook’, a comprehensive guide tailored for wealthy families and family offices looking to invest in venture capital. This playbook provides the insights and tools needed to navigate the VC landscape and achieve success as an investor.

Angela has served on several boards and continues to sit on two boards in Asia. A recognized speaker on venture capital, she was named „Top 40 under 40“ by Capital in 2019 and selected as one of the „100 Women of the Year“ by Focus in 2020.

She holds a Diploma in Business Administration (2004) and is a qualified Chartered Tax Advisor (Steuerberater) since 2009.
