While the irrational seems to be increasingly taking over in general social life, I have the feeling that in business, people want to focus as much as possible on data. While I highly value objective discussions and decisions, I experience a “data chic” in everyday business life that is usually nothing more than “interpretation free…
Since I’ve become increasingly visible in the start-up scene, I’ve often been asked when the right time is to start a company. The expectation is always that I’ll probably give an age indication along the lines of: at 24.5 years old. But it’s not that simple. Artikel auf Social Media teilen:
I can still remember the endless discussions I had with customers about open source 15 years ago. Open source was insecure, unfinished, un-everything.

Unfortunately, not a day goes by when I don’t read or hear somewhere that some company or business model is set to become the Amazon, Airbnb, Google, Apple, Tesla or Uber of an industry. I’m no longer really annoyed by such slogans. What I find strange, however, is that these statements still come from many…
With the gradual emergence of artificial intelligence, the debate surrounding technological developments is broadening. The influence of technology on our society and our understanding of culture is becoming stronger. In these discussions, I observe time and again, there are many false expectations.
