Whistleblowing
Hey there, this is the HEARTFELT_ whistleblowing channel.
The purpose of this channel is to facilitate the reporting of information about violations that fall within the scope of the Whistleblower Act.
We encourage you to report any wrongdoing within or in relation to our organization (e.g., our employees, portfolio companies, limited partners, venture partners, or collaborators) as soon as possible. For that, you could either fill out the form linked below or report to our internal reporting office by means of any of the following alternative reporting channels:
- Whistleblowing hotline: +49 30 200059339
- Whistleblowing email: whistleblowing@hearfelt.vc
- In-person reporting: Meeting with our internal reporting office during business hours by appointment via the following email address: whistleblowing@hearfelt.vc
After a claim is submitted via any of our reporting channels, the internal reporting office will confirm receipt within a week. An internal investigation will initiate and, if needed, the internal reporting office will reach out to the reporting person for more information. We aim to finalize the internal investigation process and decide on the actions to be taken without undue delay and, if applicable, we will involve the relevant authorities.
The report might be submitted under your name or anonymously. In both cases, we will ensure that your privacy is protected. In the event that you prefer sharing the information anonymously, note that we might not be able to inform you on the progress of the case and reach out in case we have any questions.
Our internal reporting office consists of Joerg Rheinboldt (general partner) and Daniela Machado (partner).
In case you feel more comfortable in sharing information with someone else within our organization, we encourage you to do so. We will make sure that your privacy is secured and the necessary investigative steps are taken accordingly.
