Entrepreneur from Berlin. Co-founder of Blinkist. Angel investor. Passionate about learning, technology company culture & nature.
As explained by Niklas:
I co-founded Blinkist with the vision of creating meaningful products that inspire people to keep learning. Since it’s founding in 2012 Blinkist has grown into a global consumer brand with over 12 million users in more than 150 countries.
Blinkist distills the key insights from the world's best nonfiction books into 15-minute audio and text digests.
From a small team of 4, Blinkist has grown into an organization of over 160 people from more than 40 countries. Continuing to grow and develop our people, company, and culture is one of my passions.
At Blinkist, I drive our product to ensure we are always innovating and improving to deliver the best experience and value to our users.
