About

I am an entrepreneur since as a kid I got my first computer and started coding ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป. I have founded and lead a few companies, including Sedo.com, Eyeo.com (makers of AdBlock) and, most recently, our saas.group. I also enjoy investing into start ups and mentoring the next generation of founders, especially climate tech founders, where together with Ecosia.org we're building WorldFund.vc ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒ
