I'm Fridtjof Detzner. I am a founder, explorer and generally like to build something new. I like the outdoors. And my bike. Shoes rather not.
Building a new economy
I am fortunate enough to have met many inspiring people. With some of them I have built the vc Planet A. Together with exciting start-ups, we are working on an economy that works within planetary boundaries.
Founder
I founded my first company when I was 16. This later became the website builder Jimdo. With it, over 25 million people have built their own website without any programming knowledge.
Explorer
From my 18 years as managing director, I have spent a lot in offices. During that time I have accumulated a lot of wanderlust and a thirst for adventure. Fortunately, my participation in Founders Valley has satisfied both. A journey through Asia, on which I met founders and abysses and which changed my life forever.
