Management

Andreas G. Stütz

The Co-Founder and CEO of IDEASCANNER, Andreas G. Stütz, has been an IT and media entrepreneur, pilot and inventor with several patents for over 20 years. While studying Business Administration at the University of Passau with a focus on Business Informatics, he developed as part of his diploma thesis (grade 1.0) the first concept of a group-wide information marketplace, the later Intranet, for the Daimler Board of Management.

After working for Mercedes-Benz Japan in Tokyo and the Dresdner Bank Securities in New York City, he became Project Manager Cyberlab with the publishing house Burda in Munich. He soon started his first company and helped to sell it to the TV manufacturer Loewe. He then became Co-Founder and CMO of friendlyway, a company for digital self-service systems in Europe and the U.S. and developed it into the market leader in its segment. Andreas won various prestigious awards with his companies. In 2000, for example, he received the Startup Award from McKinsey, the German savings banks and the magazine Stern presented by Angela Merkel.

Since the collapse of the New Economy, he has been intensively concerned with the question of which factors influence the success of start-ups. The answer to this question is the IDEASCANNER.

Melanie Stütz

The Co-Founder and CDO of IDEASCANNER, Melanie Stütz, comes from an entrepreneurial family, is data scientist and certified pilot. Even before studying Business Management at the LMU Munich with a focus on Information Systems and New Media, she gained initial experience in an IT start-up. This was followed by positions at Microsoft in Unterschleißheim, Unisys in Madrid, Siemens VDO in Regensburg, and Moreason in Beijing. As an intrapreneur at VISPIRON in Munich, she built up a team of 50 internal and external consultants and engineers in the IT and automotive industry.

In 2009/2010 she and her husband, Andreas G. Stütz, realized the international media project Weltflug.tv in coproduction with ARD. In 18 months they flew across five continents in a so called flying car. By marketing this adventure, they supported the education of children in cooperation with the children’s aid terre des hommes.

During this time, they also met with successful entrepreneurs worldwide. Together Mel and Andreas developed the idea of testing business ideas using algorithms. A comprehensive database of business ideas was created for this – the basis for the IDEASCANNER.
