2025 Speakers

I am a global entrepreneur & builder (Casacanda, Fab, Lesara, Amorelie, yepoda) as well as early supporter & investor in consumer internet & technology companies (enpal, Animoca Brands, Bending Spoons, Wild, LAP Coffee).

Since 2011 onwards I co-found consumer internet and commerce-enabling software companies through my private internet holding company Rapid Pioneers Group.

The holding builds 1-2 companies per year and invests into 3-5, with a strong focus on European businesses.

The current portfolio of over 40 companies raised more than $5000m in follow-on capital, employs over 10.000 people and includes 4 unicorns (enpal, Bending Spoons, Fab, Animoca).

Significant exits include Casacanda (to Fab.com), Amorelie (to Pro7Sat1-Group), Fitvia (to Dermapharm) and Wild (to Unilever).

I was fortunate to be featured on the Forbes magazine’s 30 under 30, the Capital 40 under 40 and one of the top 50 early-stage investors in Europe.
