Who I am
              
Who I amI am an entrepreneur with a dedication to make things happen.
                Since I was 20 years old I have been building startups, either as a co-founder, mentor or investor. Some of them successful, many of them failed. All rich in experience!

So far I’ve had the opportunity to accompany over 100 startup founders on their entrepreneurial path. The experience of the individual projects helped me to recognize certain patterns that distinguish successful founders and startups. I am very happy every time when I can apply these learnings to new startups and innovative projects.              
My Mission
              
My MissionTo empower ambitious pioneers to create positive change in our society.
                I want to invest my time and resources solely in projects that follow objectives beyond business.

Of course, the economic success of startups matters to me, too. But what really fascinates me are ambitious founders who set out to generate a truly positive impact in our society. It is precisely these projects that I love to support, in order to prove that even fast-growing organizations can bring profit, people and planet into harmony.

From my perspective, these areas in our society are particularly broken. I'm looking forward to meeting ambitious founders to fix them together.
