Business Angel & Coach

Invitris · Metropolregion München

Present

In 2018, I was brainstorming with the Munich iGEM Student Team possible project ideas and brought up the Phage topic, that I was previously working on. The team picked up the topic and decided to build a cell-free phage production system to quickly produce custom made phages to replace antibiotics. I coached the team for the international competition, which they later won in many categories: https://2018.igem.org/Team:Munich Driven by the successful participation in the competition, Kilian and a small team of researches continued their research and created the company with Patrick in early 2022. I joined the team as a Business Angel and Advisor at that time and just shorty after, they successfully participated in YCombinator. With my team at Smart Lab Architects, we helped Invitris quickly move into their new labs at IZB Munich.

Business Angel

Planet A Foods · München, Bayern, Deutschland

Present

Max and Sara, the founders of Planet A Foods, reached out to us very early in their startup journey and we helped them build their first pilot production, lab and office in Munich, Martinsried. It is rare to see so driven and ambitious founders in their early days and it was immediately clear that I would join them as Business Angel when given the opportunity. Just a few weeks after, they were selected to join the YCombinator and, as of Mid 2024, have raised $43.3 million for creating a sustainable chocolate alternative, which is already available in many supermarkets. Under the Brand www.Choviva.com they are selling their chocolate alternative as an ingredient to many, very famous brands such as Linde, Kölln Müsli or DeBeukelaer' Cereola Cookies, Fun Fact: They even convinced Lidl to include the ChoViva Seal front of pack on their private label products even though their Managing Board declined the first time.

We build a non-profit infrastructure to bring the global and local (Munich & Europe) tech community into Synthetic Biology. Also, we create a new business model for the industry based on patents. Never heard of Synthetic Biology aka SynBio? It is engineering biology by programming DNA on your computer, printing the DNA molecule and putting it into the organism of your choice. For example, yeast starts producing silk, milk, or malaria medicine (yes, that stuff is on the market already).

In a Nutshell- Kurzgesagt GmbH · München, Bayern, Deutschland

I helped the Kurzgesagt team, Germany's largest Youtube Channel, to set up business intelligence for the various business models, for example the global merchandise shop, that runs and developed concepts for new sources of revenues. Founded in 2013 the studio engages in information design projects of all kinds. Kurzgesagt is convinced that good things take time, care and precision. In an age of information overload they try to produce content that has value and that people actually notice and remember. There is no boring topic, you just have to tell a good story.
