Alumni Stories

During MPD at CDTM, Anselm and Max worked on what later turned into Stylight. After being abroad to the US via the CDTM, we (Anselm, Basti, Benni, Max) realized that we’d like to start a company together and picked up the idea which developed during MPD. We modeled our cross-functional teams at Stylight after teams at the CDTM and hired many fellow CDTM alumni into Stylight.

CDTM has had profound impact on my life - in so many ways. Among others, I met my Fly Ventures co-partner Stephan Seyboth and some other of my best friends there. We have also recruited two of Associates from CDTM. So Fly truly is a very CDTM driven venture capital firm. Next to people, CDTM also changed the way I think, operate and was the one and only academic home of my love for technology - still a driving force in my daily life as a tech investor.

Outdated HR programs that cost all employees time and effort? When it comes to CDTM alumni Hanno Renner, startups and medium-sized companies in Germany will soon be equipped with their new software called Personio.
Hanno Renner, CEO Personio
As an Electrical Engineer I had very little insight into how businesses work and what a product is apart from its technical specification. At CDTM I learned about how to validate ideas, how to build an organisation with a mission and what steps one can take to find product market fit. However, what inspired me the most, where the students in my class and the alumni. Everyone is happily sharing their experience. Those informal conversations really shaped the vision on my career and they continue to provide me with the network required to tackle the challenges I face when building a company.
Victoria Hauzeneder, CTO at Startup blik, founded in 2017
