About Me
I am an product driven entrepreneur and a (smaller) investor in businesses. After a lot of work in the internet space, I started Qype in 2005. Qype started a social network where people share what is good in their neighborhood. Qype has now developped into Europe’s largest website for local reviews. I left Qype after four years as CEO and now am on the board of directors. I work through my holding company Upspring (the German one, not the US company) and we are currently building several new companies, mostly web / mobile products.
I do only stuff that I think makes sense. Either making life easier for people or sustainable stuff. The first “green” startup launched in February 2010, currently only in Germany: Avocadostore.de is the largest market place for eco friendly goods. In February 2011, I launched 9flats.com, a social travel website that lets homeowners rent out their spare room, flat or house to travellers keen to find a better alternative to hotels.
Here is a brief summary of what I did in the past.
