Infinigate Cyber Security Group
In 1996, I co-founded the company. With the new Internet in mind we created the first equity fundraising platform webstock to raise funds and later planned the IPO for 2000. With the Internet bubble burst, we split the company into a tech arm, which became BlueRoads in Silicon Valley and kept the distribution going in Europe. Today I’m a still on the board of Infinigate helping to take the next big step go for the $1 Billion revenue mark.
DNA of a Founder (Book)
The startup world is growing at phenomenal rates across the globe. Opportunities are plentiful and there is so much to innovate and improve that almost all founders have a huge chance to get their business take off. Yet less than 10% make it – and with the growing number of startups the success rate declines. People learn to read, write, calculate, learn about history, biology and philosophy. Yet, there is no school on earth that teaches what entrepreneurship really means, how an innovative idea gets created and how such an innovation is successfully brought to market. The author, a five times entrepreneur, is not claiming to have an all encompassing answer – but tries giving answers to the most burning questions of young founders.
This book is about what the most amazing founders did or do to build a disruptive, global, billion dollar company in nearly no time – no matter where they came from, no matter what school they visited and who their parents were. It’s about the traits most entrepreneurs have in common. It’s about breaking rules, ignoring what was or is and relentlessly creating a new future.
