Yannik stands for successful young entrepreneurship. He became involved in junior entrepreneurship and the start-up scene at an early age and learned how bold ideas and innovative approaches can change markets. As co-founder and managing partner of Startify GmbH, he supports leading medium-sized industrial companies with strategies that combine traditional strengths with new technologies.

As the youngest member of the board of trustees of the Oskar Patzelt Foundation, a speaker and political catalyst, he actively promotes the entrepreneurship of tomorrow. He now brings this passion and experience to bear as head of the Competence Forum for Start-ups, Founding and Succession, with the aim of not only making entrepreneurship economically successful, but also consciously shaping the world of tomorrow.
