And in a little more detail:

I founded my first company in 1999 at the age of 16: In 2007 it became Jimdo, a website construction kit which enabled more than 25 million people to create their own website. In 2017 I shot a ten-part TV documentary with “Deutsche Welle”: The idea was simple: travel 120 days through 10 Asian countries and choose one of the 17 UN sustainability goals.

What sounded nice at first turned out to be a life changing event for me. Just to give an example: I interviewed a farmer in India who tried to take his own life by drinking pesticides to protest in front of the Ministry of Agriculture.

After this trip, I decided to invest my time and resources solely in startups that are doing significantly better than today's economy. Together with like-minded people, I founded Planet A Ventures in 2020, where we provide venture capital to scientists and founders to work on an economy within planetary boundaries.

In 2022 I became part of the Sustainable Finance Advisory Committee of the Federal Government.
