Hi, my name is Daniel,
I was born in 1987 and I call myself a Lean Entrepreneur who is in motion - here is my list of projects. My academic background includes an exchange student year at a High School in the USA. I studied "Business Economics and Service Management Consulting" at the Corporate University of IBM in Stuttgart. In 2013, I left my first startup, a p2p-Carsharing Service. Here, I worked for almost two years learning about and practicing customer development. Afterwards I pursued my studies at the "School of Design Thinking" in Stanford and Berlin. I am a certified Lean Launchpad Educator by serial founder Steve Blank. I published the German translation of his Bestseller "The Startup Owner's Manual".
People invite me for talks, workshops and trainings in Design Thinking, Startup Communities, Lean Startup and Business Innovation. I was part of Alexander Osterwalders’ Strategyzer Team from 2014 to 2015. Alexander is the author of the bestseller "Business Model Generation". In 2016 I have become a partner at MAK3it to help companies be innovative and work the same way as Startups.
I have worked with international organizations like ebay, School of Design Thinking, Startup Weekend (UP Global, now Techstars), Bayer, Drägerwerk, TÜV and the MedTech Incubator in Tübingen. I love Product Design, Experiments and Validation and Google Design Sprints.
I enjoy meeting people and pay it forward by supporting the local Startup Community, running non-profit events like Leancamp, NEXT and Startup Weekend. I'm also passionate about the sharing economy, open technologies and I love to explore the world.
In 2018, after the altMBA and rocking new, exciting and meaningful projects I will complete my master's degree in Intra- & Entrepreneurship at the University of Stuttgart.
Others about me:
"Daniel knows how to combine theory with practice and so we had a demanding, insightful, and lively day. The final presentation and testing of our prototypes was clearly a highlight. Daniel is an excellent coach and knows how to handle demanding workshop participants. We learned a lot and were thrilled by the training!" Henrik Mitsch, Executive Manager DriveNow / SIXT AG
"He is excellent in introducing concepts such as design thinking, lean startup or business model canvas. As an experienced facilitator he successfully combines theoretical background with hands-on training in a lively manner. In addition, Daniel is well connected especially in the startup scene. More than once I have benefited from his passion to connect people and share information. I warmly recommend Daniel if you consider introducing new methods into your organization." Katrin Mathis, Digital Concepter
"Without Daniel, the Summer School wouldn't have been the same." Maurizio Wagenhaus, LMU
"He was the "anchor" for the participants and always found the right balance between constructive criticism and encouragement to keep the teams in flow. He was also the main moderator of our highly successful Demo Day where he managed to facilitate a great interchange between doctors, scientists, investors, and entrepreneurs. Most of all, he always managed to put a positive energy into the workshops and classes, that was invaluable to the success of our program." Dr. Christoph Zrenner
