Frank Thelen

Investor

Founder.  Investor. Tech-Enthusiast. 

I'm a European serial founder and seed investor based in Bonn, Germany 📍 
Since 1994, I have founded several technology and design driven internet businesses. 

In my role as CEO of Freigeist Capital I focus on supporting outstanding European Tech Founders with my 20+ years of experience in building tech companies. We only do few selected seed stage investments per year to be able to give 360 degree support to our portfolio. The teams we back are all trying to solve a global issue with a disruptive technology. 

In 2014, I joined Sony's prime time TV-show "Shark Tank" 📺, broadcasted in Germany on VOX as "Die Höhle der Löwen". In 2018, I published my Autobiography 📖 "Startup-DNA" at age 42, which became a bestseller. My second best-selling book, 10xDNA, describes the laws of exponential technological development and is also available in English. 

I’m passionate about technology, exponential growth and sustainability. I believe that technology is our biggest chance at saving this planet. As one of the leading business influencers in the DACH region, I frequently share my insights on technological developments, the European Economy, digitalization and politics. I’m a huge fan of disruption. And of Elon Musk.

Conkistadores es una escuela de formación de alto nivel dirigida a: personas con nuevas ideas, profesionales con intención de crear algo nuevo, líderes que deseen trabajar en equipo y alumnos que deseen poner en práctica la teoría.

My first passion was rugby, I started playing when I was 9 years old and in my first full season, we played in the local cup final against a team that was far better than us. But with the great coaching and the right vision we succeeded. I didn’t know it at the time, but that was a pivotal leadership moment for me and one that would go on to help shape my future career.

I continued to play rugby until I was 43, both League and Union, often playing 3-4 games a week, sometimes twice a day – did I say it was my passion. Being from Yorkshire, a rugby hotbed, I was also fortunate to play against some of the best players in the world, Ellery Hanley, Brian Moore, Nigel Melville, and many, many more. 

At 18 I even had professional trials. But unfortunately, I was found "not guilty" of being talented enough to play at that level.  Apparently, passion will only take you so far. 

At university I studied Mathematics, as my second passion was problem solving and math was a great mental toolset for achieving that, and of course, I also captained the university Rugby team. 

As I moved into my professional career, I discovered that my real passion was actually for building successful teams, coaching and developing people, creating strategies to turn around under-performing teams and failing projects, or delivering complex change programs. The bigger the challenge the more I loved to compete and to find ways to succeed.

In a nutshell, my passion is Leadership.

Now I speak, write, coach, and teach on leadership.  

I make leadership simple. I show people how to create engaged, empowered, and excited teams that will achieve amazing results. 

Just like my average rugby team did when I was 9 years old. 

Success is not about having the best players. It’s about having the right motivation, the right plan, and the right leadership. Building confidence and showing teams their true capability and then helping them to exceed their perceived full potential.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than the look on the faces of people when they feel the pride of having achieved what they previously thought of as impossible.

If you are looking to develop your leadership skills, improve team performance, or drive organizational change, then I invite you to reach out to me to learn more. My years of experience, combined with my passion for leadership development, make me a valuable resource for anyone seeking to take their leadership skills to the next level.

Talk 1: How to be a Rockstar Leader That People Want To Follow
According to Gallup Management engagement is at 33%. This is the real root cause of poor employee engagement. In this talk. I will teach your leaders how to create engaged, excited and empowered teams that will deliver amazing results. People are not afraid of hard work, they are afraid of failure. When you can show them how they will be successful, put them in a position to be successful and then give them credit for their success they will follow you anywhere. I have used this approach with Fortune 100 Companies to increase cost reduction by $140m, improve on-time delivery 26 to 81% and reduce system downtime by 98%. 

Talk 2: My Little Secrets for Your Big Success
A Univerisity of Scranton Study says 92% of people quit on their goals. With many quitting before they have even started. In this talk, I will teach you how to create enough belief to get you started & then show you how to build momentum that will help you continue on to achieve your goal.
This approach helped me to write 4 books, over 1200 leadership articles in just 4 years. 

Talk 3: How I went from Unknown to Global Thought Leader in Just 2 Years
With 23 new blogs, 5500 FB posts and 6000 tweets per second it's practically impossible to stand out online. If you want to build a  Personal Brand or become an Influencer then you need a proven strategy to follow. In this talk, I will teach you how to: leverage your knowledge to build authority; how to increase your credibility by being featured on the big online platforms; and how to build a following that will allow you to increase your visibility. These are the techniques that I used t be recognized as an Inc Top 100 Leadership Expert and Speaker,to create to Top 5 Leadership Blog, & selected as a Top Online Influencer.
