Michael Straßburger is a Founder, CEO at stravent GmbH. Colleagues describe him as "Michael shines with creativity & passion! My favorite experience working together was at a hackathon week. We came up with a new type of map based search. After discussing the high-level vision Mike was able to build out the exact concept within a few hours using Google Maps API, our search API, and his knowledge of polygons and spacial geometry. A few hours later he had pushed the idea even further and we ended up with a new feature for our mobile app!" and "Michael is a driven, intelligent and creative engineer who takes pride in his work and never fails to bring a smile to your face. He has brilliant product ideas and is good at figuring out innovative solutions to difficult problems. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with him at CouchSurfing."
