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.

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.
