Meeting-ID: 965 3613 1009

Oliver Bruemmer is the founder and CEO of The Hackathon Company GmbH. He describes his founding journey as follows:

„The founding story of our hackathons resulted from one widespread problem: I far too often witnessed how companies made their working life unnecessarily difficult. In the summer of 2018, the journey started. At that time, I still had another full-time job, therefore founding a start-up was not going to be easy. Nevertheless, I was, and to this day am still convinced of the mission behind The Hackathon Company and that I could not give up. Since the beginning of 2021, I have been dedicating myself full-time, with a team of over 15 people, to hackathons and helping companies find individual solutions. We are not about developing an exclusive product, nor do we want to ‘help’ anyone. Our aim is to be the needed sparring partner to companies, while making their day-to-day lives better/easier.“
