This episode's guest is Uwe Dreissigacker. He's been creating companies since he was 14 years old, from online games, ad tech solutions, software-as-a-service, fintech, and no code tools. Today, he's the founder of online invoicing tool Invoice Berry and WordPress alternative BlogHandy.
Beyond his depth of entrepreneurial ventures and skills, he's no stranger to a good hiking trail or ski run, and has perfected the quintessential cafe, coffee and co-working photo. He's also a fellow member and welcoming personality in the TrendsVC community.
Most importantly, this conversation gives you the perspective of a successful serial entrepreneur who has a track record of creating and hoisting startups and tools built for independent users.
