#dealcode featured in #WirtschaftsWoche It's been 6 weeks since my almost 3-week trip to the USA, and the effects of that trip are still resonating with me. During my time in the US, I met many great people from all over the world and had the incredible opportunity to participate in 2 pitch events in New York and Palo Alto with 9 other outstanding AI startups. Thanks to the AI.STARTUP.HUB, German Accelerator, Start2 Group and other initiatives. The goal of the trip was to network with companies, other startups and investors to prepare the next step for dealcode: expanding our business to the US. During my time in the US, my perception was confirmed once again - there is a much greater willingness to invest in early-stage startups and the available venture capital is many times higher than in Germany, even when considering the GDP (see also my post from last week). A big thank you to Petra Vorsteher and Ragnar Kruse for their unwavering commitment to Hamburg & Germany as an AI hub. Their efforts to support AI startups through their AI.FUND and events like the one at HanaHaus are invaluable to our ecosystem. Also, many thanks to Matthias Hohensee, Silicon Valley correspondent for the German WirtschaftsWoche, for the interview and his excellent article on our journey in the US and the hurdles German startups have to overcome. At dealcode AI, we use AI to revolutionize digital sales and enable sales teams to focus on what they do best - closing deals. Our software autonomously searches for prospects, analyzes them, and initiates contact, streamlining the sales process and increasing efficiency. Our journey is just beginning, and with the support of visionary leaders and great partners, I'm confident that we will continue to achieve remarkable milestones. Today, it's more important than ever to build bridges between Hamburg, Germany and the USA and Silicon Valley, so that we can make more great ideas from Germany even bigger! Thank you, WirtschaftsWoche, for highlighting the importance of cross-continental collaboration in the AI industry. Let's continue to innovate, inspire, and lead the way in AI progress!

I can't believe it, but it’s already been more than three years since Rolf Hermann 🤘🏻 asked me to participate in a podcast episode about Data Segmentation in Email Marketing. Listen to the episode 🎧: https://lnkd.in/eZ7q79Tg (German only). While we’re not in the midst of COVID anymore, many of the topics we discussed back in 2020 remain relevant when it comes to data management and segmentation to enhance email marketing. Agree or disagree? Also, it might have been three years already, but I remember like it was yesterday how nervous I was to speak and afraid of blurting out nonsense. It was, I believe, only the second podcast episode I ever recorded. #emailmarketing #emailstrategy #clv #segmentation #podcast #omr

🎙️I recently had the pleasure of joining Max Ostermeier on his podcast, the Startcast Podcast. Max invited me to share my journey as a founder – from the very beginning to where we are today with MVP Factory. In our conversation, we delved into the lessons I've learned along the way, my perspective on startups and the mindset shift of Zebras vs Unicorns, founding in times of crisis, and some of the incredible projects like Yarded we're working on at MVP Factory.
 Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just curious about our journey with MVP Factory, listen in and share your thoughts with me. We covered a lot of ground, from the early challenges to the innovative solutions we're bringing to life today:
 🔹 The pivotal moments in my entrepreneurial journey 🔹 Insights on building and scaling startups  🔹 Behind-the-scenes stories from MVP Factory projects  🔹 How joining Ness Digital Engineering enables us to drive more innovation A big thank you to Max for the invitation, the great conversation, and your patience (it took us a while to find an appointment). I'm looking forward to part two ;) I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it! 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: ▶️Spotify | https://lnkd.in/ddhf9ywf ▶️Apple I https://lnkd.in/dFmBuVG5 #Startcast #Startups #MVPFactory #Innovation

When explaining that Nuxeo is THE platform of the future I often referred to Holger Strack's sentence: "I've spent 20 years of my career migrating to Documentum, I will retire migrating from it". Holger Strack it's certainly been a while since we had that discussion, I've used your sentence on more occasions than I can count when explaining what options our customers have, and boldly stating "Nuxeo macht Spaß" (Nuxeo means fun!). It seems I wasn't lying! What's more to add? I've always liked Nuxeo's 11b benchmark (https://lnkd.in/dy9wHuGX). I'm proud to say we also know how the system behaves with Billions of entries. Productive ones. More details to come, in the meantime many thanks to the entire team!

📰 My Cofounder is featured in two leading newspapers this morning!👏👏 My cofounder at Footprint Technologies, Carolin Kleinert, gave two interviews for #Sueddeutsche and #Tagesspiegel about a recent study of Startup-Verband that investigated the socio demographic background of #startup founders. It clearly proofs founders typically are originating from families with academic backgrounds or from parents who are entrepreneurs themselves. The majority - but not all of them. Carolin is a great example of this minority who also made it without academic parents or without entrepreneurial role-models within their core families. I am sharing a similar family background, both of my parents do neither have an academic education, nor are they entrepreneurs themselves. It is possible, but it needs more visibility and sharing of such positive examples, so that more and more #Arbeiterkinder are considering becoming entrepreneurs as a career option. This would be a benefit for themselves as well as for our society and economy! For that reason I am celebrating the two articles about Carolin's personal story! 😍 👏 👉 Please check the articles and share them! 🙏

It’s time to future-proof Germany’s economy, and talent is the key. We will be left in the past if we don’t break free from our short-sightedness and embrace a more forward-thinking national talent strategy. I've been following the public debate around the "fairness" of tax benefits for highly-skilled foreign workers, and I feel compelled to weigh in. As the leader of a homegrown tech company, I know two things about our highly-skilled team: It’s our greatest asset, and building it in Berlin has been one of our hardest challenges. It’s been hard because Germany simply doesn’t have the talent pool required to build a company like GetYourGuide. We should make long-term investments in education to change this, but that will take decades to bear fruit, and our economy’s need is acute. There is a better way, and it will bring immediate economic benefits to *all* taxpayers: Attract highly-skilled talent to Germany with tax incentives. Here’s why: 🌍 Global talent is mobile: The best minds have options, and they're choosing countries that offer the most attractive packages. We need to be in that race. 🏢 Talent fuels innovation: Our burgeoning tech community requires a constant influx of specialized skills to thrive and scale. Without them, we risk stifling our own potential. ⛵ A rising tide lifts all boats: By attracting diverse, skilled professionals, we inject fresh ideas and perspectives into our economy. This isn't just about tech – it's about future-proofing every sector. 🇩🇪 Germany can lead: We already have world-class quality of life and a strong social safety net. With the right incentives, we can position ourselves as Europe's premier destination for global innovators. It's time to lean into our advantages. 🌱 Investing in the next generation: This isn't just about today's economy – it's about securing our children’s future prosperity and well-being. Germany must transition away from its manufacturing-centric past – our society depends on it, and the planet demands it. This isn't about giving unfair advantages. It's about recognizing that in today's interconnected world, talent flows where opportunity calls. Countries like the Netherlands and Italy have already implemented such measures with great success, but this fact is completely absent from our German debate! It's time for Germany to make a bold move and create the conditions that will attract the world's brightest minds to our shores. First, we need to ask ourselves: Do we want to lead or be left behind?
