Sebastian schreibt über sich selbst auf Linkedin: I'm a serial
entrepreneur and published author. My background is in psychology,
and I've always been a reader and writer. My first job was in
management consulting, which was pretty traumatizing. It taught me
what life looks like when everything is just about money. And it
taught me that this was definitely not what I wanted to do with my
life. After quitting my job and licking my wounds for a bit, I
started starting my own companies. Some of them failed, some of
them survived. Among the not-so-successful endeavours: My friend
Ben and I wanted to conquer the world with self-cooling scarves. We
named them "Penguin Hugs", but we had no clue how to sell a product
online. In 2012, I founded Blinkist with 3 co-founders, based on my
own interest in books and summarizing them. Actually, the Blinkist
story had started much earlier: 2009, while still in uni, I started
summarizing non-fiction books and sending the summaries out to
friends via email. It took until 2012 until I'd gathered the
courage and a team to actually start a company though. After we had
fine-tuned the product and found a business model, I gave up my
operational roles in 2016 and remained a shareholder until Blinkist
was sold to Go1 in 2023. From 2017 onwards, I helped build TheDive,
a transformation consultancy and think tank, based in Berlin and
Munich. At TheDive, I developed "The Loop Aaproach", a
transformation framework. In 2019 I wrote a book about It, which is
currently available in German, English, and Russian. Since 2017
I've been working on Neue Narrative, which is a print magazine on
the future of work. After initial success with the magazine, we
founded NN Publishing in 2019, which is a self-organized,
people-centric media company. We're steward-owned, and trying to
figure out what the future or work looks like, in practice. In 2018
I set up Karma Capital, an investment holding which focuses on
business models with a positive impact on our planet and society.
