Building Tomorrow's Companies While Others Study Yesterday's Playbooks

Two decades building breakthrough technologies across 4 continents. Currently managing €60M portfolio in solutions that didn't exist in business school curricula.

From turning waste into power in Nigeria and Ethiopia to competing with German aerospace centers from Bali - I've learned that the biggest opportunities hide where others won't look.

The pattern I keep seeing: Most business thinking is designed for a world that no longer exists.

While institutions optimize for yesterday's metrics, the real builders focus on tomorrow's reality:

•
AI amplifies humans, it doesn't replace them

•
Environment dictates innovation (geography is strategy, not lifestyle)

•
Crisis-proof means antifragile, not just resilient

•
The future belongs to those who build it, not those who predict it

After managing programs funded by Kleiner Perkins and Wellington Partners, then watching entire industries get disrupted, one thing became clear: Everything changes faster than institutions can adapt.

The most interesting conversations happen with leaders who understand this shift and want to build accordingly.

What fascinates me most? How the next generation will navigate a world where traditional playbooks are obsolete.

Stop wasting years on degrees that don’t matter.

The world doesn’t need more theory—it needs action.

Chasing an MBA or PhD won’t make you successful. It’ll just keep you out of the game longer, drowning in debt, stuck in a classroom while the real work happens outside. 🎓

At EX Venture Academy, we’ve tossed out the traditional “degree” model. Instead, we give you real-world experience—immediately. You’ll build, scale, and execute with actual startups, not case studies. No waiting, no more “someday,” just results. 💥

Here’s the truth:
Traditional education gives you papers.
We give you ventures and strategic clarity.

The difference? Execution over theory. Real skills that matter, not diplomas.
If you’re ready to stop pretending and start doing, get in the game now.

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s core to who we are. 🌱

We don’t treat sustainability as a separate department. We integrate it into everything we do. 

From zero-waste education for children in Bali to investing in community engagement, we’re building a future where every action counts. 💡

Sustainability isn’t about theory; it’s about action. Let’s build a future that’s both impactful and profitable. 🌍

You found a problem you can solve. Great.

Now ask: is this something you actually want to serve?

A lot of founders can find a problem to solve.
The failure happens later—when they realize they’re building for a market they don’t even care about.

Takeaway: don’t just validate demand; validate alignment. Founder-market fit + an environment that promotes clarity beats trend-chasing.

AI won’t replace you but the person who knows how to use it might. 

The real power of technology isn’t in automation alone, but in collaboration. It’s time to stop viewing AI as a competitor and start seeing it as a co-pilot. By building a solid framework where human creativity meets machine efficiency, we unlock potential we never thought possible.

4 hours of work… and nothing to show for it?

You’re not working, you’re reacting. Every email, every notification pulls you away from what really matters. 😤

Elite performers don’t multitask. They go deep.
90 minutes. No distractions. Pure focus. 🔥

That’s how real work gets done. That’s how impact is created.
Stop letting the noise take over. Work smarter, not harder.

Comment FOCUS if you’re in. 💥
