BE PART OF THE CANNOBE CLUB
Cannobe is a global, invite-only incubation community that connects business leaders, innovators, and tech experts with vetted ideas, startups, and projects. Fully independent and private.
Professionals who seek to expand their horizons—beyond their current networks, associations, and activities—are invited to join. Your expertise becomes visible and actionable, granting you personal access to relevant professionals and private capital for potential investments. Our incubator is ideal for those with substantial experience who remain open and curious, regardless of their current endeavors. Our target demographic for professionals is individuals born in 1970 or earlier.
Members are invited to virtual meetings (via Zoom) to connect, share insights, and receive tailored advice on maximizing the benefits of the community. Startups, ideas, and projects have the opportunity to pitch during these sessions.
Additionally, all members are invited to our annual in-person gathering, featuring distinguished speakers from the worlds of technology and business. On request, new professional members and startups are highlighted in regular LinkedIn posts, reaching approximately 30,000 contacts via our founder’s network.
At its core, Cannobe is about building long-term relationships, empowering experienced leaders, and supporting visionary startups in shaping the future together.
To explore whether Cannobe is the right fit for you, feel free to contact Ulf Leonhard at +49-151-12749148 (CET).

ALUMNI-PLATFORM AS A SERVICE
Alumni-Service for
Companies
and Institutions
Would you like to create a strong alumni network among your employees as leading companies like McKinsey or Citigroup have done? You can offer your departing employees a Cannobe membership that is tied to your company.
It is an incentive to stay connected with your employees and their endeavors. We offer a tailored program that will help you stay in touch with your former employees.
Skill shortages and demographic changes are leading to longer lasting professional careers, especially in management. The value of employees who have collected decades of hands-on professional experience is increasing.
It is a pool of talent that offers tremendous potential.
Cannobe – Club of the Experienced Professionals is the platform where companies can stay in touch with their former employees and their activities.
Cannobe inspires, creates connections, and helps build a community of current and retired professionals. Are you interested in learning more?
Contact us, we are looking forward to getting to know you, hearing about your ideas and creating a program that is right for you!
