Andreas G. Stütz

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 working for Mercedes-Benz Japan in Tokyo and Dresdner Bank Securities in New York City, he successfully founded several IT companies. Andreas and his companies have won prestigious awards, such as the McKinsey Startup Award, which was presented to him by Angela Merkel.

Together with his wife, Melanie, he was the author and co-pilot of the first world trip with a “flying car”. He used the publicity with book and film to collect money for the education of disadvantaged children. As a business angel, Andreas is a member of the investor group “MunichAngels”. Since 2019, he has been a mentor for the evaluation of business ideas at the world’s largest pre-seed start-up accelerator, the Founder Institute.
