I’m Dominik, founder, athlete, & creator. A proud generalist. This is my story: For the last 7 years, I helped bootstrap one startup from 0 to 1M in revenue and built the international business from scratch for one of Europe’s fastest growing EdTech companies (50 -> 240 employees in my three years there).All while competing at the highest level of the beautiful sport of Lacrosse, including an appearance for the German National Team at the 2022 World Games (the Olympics’ little brother).While my professional achievements may seem more impressive on paper, representing Germany on an international stage is the feat that I’m most proud of.I wasn’t very athletic up until my mid-twenties. Very little talent, but a lot of injuries to make up for it.Until one day, I started working with a personal trainer. He helped me break down the fundamentals I needed to fix.I worked hard, and I worked consistently. Showed up to every practice, every gym session. Did my recovery & mobility work daily.4 years later, I made the national team roster.The potential was in me. But it needed help unlocking.Throughout my entire career, I’ve also helped humans unlock their potential, just in different ways:- By teaching people in rural Rwanda and Brazilian homeless shelter how to make glasses for less than $1, and how to build a business around it- By bringing unemployed nurses from Italy to Germany and teaching them German, opening a completely different career path for them- By expanding the leading operating system for schools throughout Europe, so that education becomes more digital and thus accessible- By writing about my experiences online and sharing them with the worldIn late 2023, I made the decision to quit my cozy, well-paid, full-time job that fit my profile perfectly.I'm on a mission to build my own portfolio career - and help others to unlock theirs. Join me on my journey towards building a portfolio of cashflow-positive, impact-driven businesses.These businesses have one goal: help others unlock their potential. Just like my personal trainer did for me.I wish that some of the best portfolio company owners turned creators had documented their journey from day 1, and not retrospectively.So that’s what I’m doing.I write for generalists like myself, who want to make a living in a specialized economy without specializing themselves. You can do more than one thing in your life. Let’s design that life together. Sign up for my newsletter here: www.dominiknitsch.com/newsletter
