Founder - Investor - Tech & Life ☺️I'm an entrepreneur by heart and a serial founder based in Linz/Vienna, Austria. In 2009, we co-founded Runtastic and grew the company without any funding from 0-250 employees from more than 40 countries. Our apps reached 300+ million customers, and we got acquired by adidas only six years after starting our first journey. I stayed there for 3.5 years and gained much experience in the start-up and corporate world.2012, we co-founded Tractive. At Tractive, we are the world market leader for GPS tracking for dogs & cats, and I worked here as the Chief Growth Officer until 2020. 2014, we started our investment company 8eyes.io, and together with my former co-founders, we do have more than 30 start-up investments (most early stages) and invested into 6 start-up funds (e.g., 468 capital, Holtzbrinck, firstminute-captial, etc.) 2018, I published my book "So läuft Start-up" (German language only) 2019, I started my own investment company and tried to support "young" founders and help them on their way to success 🚀 By now (2022), there are more than 10 investments done.2019, 2020 and 2021, I was part of the successful TV show "2 Minuten 2 Millionen" - the shark tank from Austria. 2021, I co-founded the skill and mindset development platform Leaders21 with our former Runtastic VP of Product Thomas. We believe in the power of people, and we believe in 21st-century skills, and everybody should be part of continuous learning. 2023, I founded Foxyfitness app and launched my first app on iOS called "100 Push-Ups Counter & Trainer". It will become the best Push-Ups app in the world and basically counts your repetition automatically, and a full training plan is included.
