Back to Hands On !

Some of you who know me already know this, but I’ve been back in hands-on business with the Next Big Thing for the past couple of weeks. Can’t say too much about it now, but I’ll share with you - those of you who know the feeling - the sense of excitement at building an exponential-growth company. We’ll be stealthing some more the next couple of months. As soon as we have the technology in place, our company will kawham! - At least, that’s we’re fighting for.

My life as an Investor will continue, but I’ll focus on the Angel & advisory part and have increased staff on dw capital to do the operatives of our Seed Funding. That gives the Startups more worth (and more professionalism, too). It leverages the dw capital positioning as “Founder friendly like an Angel and professional like a VC“. Plus I gain more insights on an operative level, which will decrease the half-life of my know-how. Growth must always become institutional if it is to prevail!

About me

As a Founder of denkwerk Group, I have been involved in marketing, media, the internet, and start-ups for the past 15 years. I have seen the New Economy come and go (and come back again). At denkwerk, we founded the world's first bookmarking and tagging startup, oneview, in 1998, and rolled it out in 16 countries and 10 languages. denkwerk has always endeavoured to make innovation happen and attract some of the brightest talents (and start-ups) in our industry.

As a seed investor, I am an active Board Member of the company shaping the future of travel commerce, itravel, and a Board member of the exciting local search and rating company, Qype. As an investor in armedangels and an Advisor to betterplace, I support endeavours to make the world a better place.

In December 2005, I met Ibrahim Evsan and Tom Bachem. They had just developed a ground-breaking technology for Video on Demand. With my seed funding we developed the business model and incorporated in April 2006, and in Summer 2006 I became CEO of the company that will shape the future of TV and internet media: sevenload!
