I`m happy that SponsorPay is developing very well and recently got 3.8 m Euro from Hasso Plattner Ventures and TEV to finance the further growth.
14 months after we founded the company SponsorPay is already the undoubted market leader in Europe and employees 40 entrepreneurial employees.
I`ve moved the last 3 months to San Francisco to build up our US business and will continue to do so for 1 more month.
Afterwards I`ll have much more time to write updates here more frequently… 
I am happy that Madvertise today announced a Series A Round with Early Bird and Team Europe Ventures invested a medium 7-figures amount in Madvertise Series A round.
Madvertise is a quickly-growing Mobile Advertising Start-up that I co-founded as Venture Partner with Team Europe in September 2008.
Since then the strong operational founder team around Carsten Frien has reached good initial traction in the young but very fast growing mobile advertising market in Europe.
Recent US-based Mobile Advertising acquisitions of Admob (750million $ from Google) and Quattro Wireless (300million $ from Apple) give a good direction for the exit

Large (offline)-merchant Tengelmann bought 10% of Brands4Friends from existing investors around Team Europe Ventures and including me.
Thanks to the invitation from non-executive co-founder Lukasz Gadowski I had invested a small amount during the seed round in summer 2007.
Even though no transaction details are public it is no secret that all seed-investors made a fantastic multiple
The private shopping club made already 80m € revenue in 2009 – just 2 years after the company had been founded.
Congratulation and thank you to the founders and management and I wish you all the best for the future and further growth of Brands4Friends!
Last week I took a break from business and enjoyed relaxing and clubbing at my favourite island Ibiza. It was a great and refreshing time with a supercool and entrepreneurial crew of 7 to (during peaktime) 14 good friends and business partners. We shared a nice and huge beachfront appartement at legendary “Bora Bora” Beach. Besides our arrival day the sun was shining all time and we spent a lot of time discussing and sunbathing at our terrace or the beach. But that what makes Ibiza special is not the sun neither the beach but the nightlife. Within 7 days I enjoyed a good share of the worlds most popular (electronic) DJs: Tiesto, Erik Morillo, Fedde le Grand, David Guetta, Carl Cox…
THX to the whole crew for the fun with you and I look forward to IBIZA 2010
Last months (and ongoing for a while) I`m having a very intense and focused time as (Interim)-Managing Director of SponsorPay.com. SponsorPay is monetizing non-paying users of publishers like online games. I co-founded the company together with Team Europe Ventures and Janis Zech about 5 months ago. Since then we are on a fast growth path. Some weeks after launching our product we could already announce Gameforge.com as one of our clients. They are the worldwide leading independent MMO-Publisher and have more than 85 million registered users (about 20 m active). To serve customers of that size I`m very happy to have a skilled and very motivated team in place. Having been only 5 emplyoees working on SponsorPay in May we are at the moment already 29 people from about 15 countries – a lot of them are (native) Country Manager for our international markets. So far or within the next weeks they serve: Germany (surprise, surprise ), Austria, Swiss (Thanks Thomas! ), France (Thanks Mael!), Italy (Thanks Francesca!), Spain (Thanks Laura!), UK (Thanks Gaurav!) USA & Canada (Thanks Seamon)!, Netherlands (Thanks Asbjorn!), Poland (Thanks Sebastian!) , Russia (Thanks Elena!), Turkey (Thanks Afsin!), Sweden (Thanks Per!) as well as some othercountries tba soon… Not long ago Andreas Bodczek joined us as our other Managing Director. While I am on interim base responsible for leading Publisher Relations and Marketing he is responsible to scale the business and organisation during the next 4 years to come. Previusly he has been CEO of Telefonica Germany where he successfully managed another sales and key account driven organisation – with up to 480 people. I guess and hope it will take some time once our headcount has reached that level
Nächste Woche bin ich (endlich) mal wieder in San Francisco und freue mich darauf zahlreiche alte und neue Kontakte zu treffen. Anlass sind diverse Meetings für ein spannendes, international aufgestelltes Start-up, das ich im April mitgegründet habe und bei dem ich derzeit Interim-CEO bin. Noch sind wir im stealth mode, aber in nicht allzu langer Zeit werde ich hier mehr verraten…
Madvertise.de ist das Mobile Advertising Netzwerk, das ich im Oktober 2008 in meiner Funktion als Venture Partner bei Team Europe Ventures als (non-executive) mitgegründet habe. Mein expliziter Dank für den auf den Tag plangenauen Launch gilt dem IT/Produkt-Team insbesondere Pan (Katsukis), Martin (Karlsch) & Thomas (Hille) die einen super Job gemacht haben. Mobile Advertising ist in Asien, Amerika und Afrika! bereits ein Riesen-Thema. Kein Wunder, weltweit surfen bereits mehr Menschen vom Handy im Internet als vom Desktop oder Laptop… In Deutschland steckt das Thema dagegen noch in den Kinderschuhen, setzt aber gerade mit dem steilen Wachstum des mobilen Internets zum Sprung an. Das schöne daran ist, dass es derzeit bei überschaubarer Szene noch relativ leicht ist die Key Player des Mobile Marktes in Deutschland kennenzulernen und sich zu vernetzen. Madvertise.de ist hier vor allem auch dank starker Supporter & Investoren in etablierten Mobile Companies und Agenturen gut aufgestellt vom Wachstum und den zahlreichen vorhandenen Kontakten zu profitieren. Was im Mobile Advertising Markt möglich ist, zeigt das Mobile Advertising Network Admob.com. Kaum 3 Jahre alt, und von Sequioa und Accel gebacked, liefern die Kalifornier jeden Monat mehrere Milliarden Impressions aus und freuen sich über Umsätze im guten 8 stelligen Dollar-Bereich.

Am Samstag, 6h deutscher Zeit vergibt Facebook frei wählbare User-URLs…
Bin gespannt auf den Zulauf. Könnte in Richtung Landrush auf virtuelle Immobilien gehen. Ist sicher nicht ganz unbegründet. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass URLs auf Plattformen wie Facebook mal einen ähnlich hohen Stellenwert wie Domain-Names bekommen… Mit dem kleinen Unterschied, dass der Wert stark anfällig von Verhalten und Erfolg des Plattform-Betreibers ist. Gibt es eigentlich schon einen Marktplatz für den Handel mit derartigen “Immobilien” auf Facebook, Twitter, XING & Co? Möglicherweise etwas über das man nachdenken könnte…
Ein Jahr nach dem Launch kann ich mich zusammen mit dem Absolventa.de-Gründer-Team rund um Christoph, Pascal und Henning über den 100.000sten Absolventen freuen Damit ist ein großer Teil der jährlich ca. 230.000 Absolventen zu finden. Insgesamt 600 Unternehmen von Daimler über Google bis hin zu zahlreichen Mittelständlern haben im selben Zeitraum die Plattform genutzt um Hochschulabsolventen und Young Professionals zu finden. Das Team hat sich seit der Gründung im Oktober 2007 von 3 auf 30 Mitarbeiter gesteigert. Obwohl die Finanzkrise natürlich nicht spurlos am Recruiting-Markt vorbeigeht, hat Absolventa es geschafft sich fest im Mindset der Recruiter und Absolventen zu verankern. Neben der Lebenslauf-Datenbank, werden inzwischen zahlreiche weitere Leistungen und Produkte rund um das Kerngeschäft angeboten. Für Start-ups gibt es übrigens Sonderkonditionen

Ich wünsche allen Freunden, Geschäftspartnern und Bekannten die mir nicht schon persönlich über den Weg gelaufen sind ein schönes und erfolgreiches 2009! Ich hoffe Ihr kommt alle Euren Zielen ein Stück weit näher, bleibt gesund und gesellig und habt Spaß dabei!
Derzeit befinde ich mich noch in Münster, wo ich im Kreise von Studienfreunden auf einer äußerst amüsanten Privatparty – Danke Basti, Christian & Hagen – reingefeiert habe. Morgen gehts dann wieder nach Berlin um den eigenen unternehmerischen Zielen für 2009 ein Stück näher zu kommen…
P.S. Nach mittlerweile wieder mehr als einem halben Jahr in Deutschland stelle ich mal wieder auf Muttersprache um.
