German serial-entrepreneur and investor Ferry founded Heilemann Ventures together with his brother Fabian after the trade sale of his company DailyDeal to Google in 2011. Since then he has been an early stage VC-investor, actively supporting companies in the digital sector with his operational skills and experience. Meanwhile, Ferry and his brother Fabian set the fundamentals for their company-builder Sky & Sand. To this day the holding combines DailyDeal, the e-business agency Heilemann&Co. as well as the POS system provider pepperbill, for whom Ferry is a full-time member of the management board.
