Founders

  title: Founder
  role: Founder
  bio: I started several companies and sold most of them. With my last venture, we developed a toothbrush that brushes all teeth simultaneously in 10 seconds. We raised $8mio through crowdfunding and shipped over 45k units to users. Eventually, the company tanked, but this and my previous experience with my startups gave me the right learnings and focus for building something big.
