Bits & Pretzels founder Haas on successes and failures

by time news

Düsseldorf If you deal with the German high-tech start-up scene, then you cannot ignore Felix Haas. He set up his first company when he was a child, which he sold at the age of 19. At just 25 he made his second exit.

Then he built up one of the largest start-up conferences with Bits & Pretzels – and then with IDNow a company for video identification via mobile phone. In addition, he has invested in around 300 start-ups together with other investors.

How is the German start-up scene doing? Are the falling valuations of many companies a risk? Or even a chance? What does the technology competition between China and the USA mean for the European technology scene? And above all: What actually makes good entrepreneurs? We are discussing all of this today at Handelsblatt Disrupt.
