Viktor Presber
Three spots for two hundred applicants — Viktor got one of them, won awards and ended up on a stage at the German Chancellery. Two years in, he dropped out and moved into a startup flat in Berlin.
Philipp Baumanns
Philipp had already signed full-time with McKinsey. He walked away because he could see the trap: the better the salary, the benefits and the job security get, the harder it becomes to ever leave.
Theodora Both
Theodora arrived in Germany at nine without a word of German. She was on the standard consulting path until TechCrunch showed her how little she actually understood about AI, so she spent nine weeks learning to code instead.
Maximilian Arnold
Max spent his whole life collecting side quests. Five days before the YC deadline, he and his two co-founders started writing the application that turned one of them into the main quest.
Benedict Kurz
Benedict was training six hours a day to turn pro. Then he launched an app from his grandfather's basement, and never got on the plane to Tunisia.
