Andreas G. Stütz has been an IT and media entrepreneur, pilot and inventor with several patents for over 20 years. During his studies at the University of Passau, he developed the first concept of a group-wide information marketplace for the CEO of Daimler. After holding positions at Mercedes-Benz Japan in Tokyo and Dresdner Bank Securities in New York City in the USA, he successfully founded several IT companies. Andreas and his companies have received prestigious awards, such as the StartUp Award by stern, Sparkassen and McKinsey, which was presented to him by Angela Merkel.

Together with his wife Mel, he was co-pilot and author of Weltflug – The Gyroplane Dream, the first world trip in a “flying car”.

Since 2019, he has been a mentor for evaluating business ideas at the world’s largest early-stage startup accelerator, the Founder Institute.

In recent years, his research on what sustainably influences the value of companies led to IDEASCANNER. With the IDEASCANNER Expert, he and his team of experts put current business models to the test in order to make them fly with the IDEASCANNER Strategy.
