Together with two partners, he founded etventure in 2010 with the vision of bundling the experience from innovation projects in medium-sized companies, groups and start-ups in one company. The winning formula in the development of new digital ideas: fast, radically user-centered and with entrepreneurial mindset in the implementation. To this end, etventure uses innovation methods such as Lean Startup and Design Thinking. Customers include BARMER, Daimler Financial Services, Franz Haniel & Cie., Schwan- STABILO and the steel dealer Klöckner.
