Speaker details

Starting during his childhood, Maximilian grew more and more fascinated with technology and started modifying desktop PCs with his dad.

Driven by curiosity, he has always been trying to understand the inner workings of systems and has been looking for new technologies.

Not surprisingly, he founded/invested in 9 tech startups within the last 12 years during which time he learned how to create successful market-relevant technologies, but also what it means to fail.

Out of his curiosity and his critical innovation-driven thinking he dived into multiple industries (from automotive to insurance) and worked with C-Levels in various fields of digital innovation (from Internet-of-Things to Blockchain).

As part of the Generation Y he has a strong focus on prototyping and disruptive digital business models. In his private life Maximilian is driven by new technology and science, too. In order to optimize his health and wellbeing he started hacking his own system for example. By becoming a biohacker he changed his eating behavior, quit smoking, lost 40+ kilograms of weight and boosted his productivity. With a Master’s in Business and as a serial tech entrepreneur he combined the things he loves most: developing disruptive digital businesses.

His latest Startup is Keyp, an open identification ecosystem that enables an universal login button (SSO) for any type of digital access.
