Hendrik spent the last decade at the intersection of venture capital, startups, and corporate innovation in Europe. He founded and led the European branch of Founders Forum’s strategy advisory arm, which was later acquired by Accenture. He then joined Merantix, an AI venture fund, where he co-founded AI House Davos at the World Economic Forum and built Europe’s largest AI community around the AI Campus in Berlin.
