Max gives talks or delivers speeches about mymuesli, entrepreneurship and related topics at universities, conferences or for corporate clients, including Porsche, DHL, and Apple. He regularly writes about his key learnings on his blog.
He is also human, father, very passionate about coffee, but most importantly photography: he doesn't claim to be a great photographer, but he has been taking pictures since his teenage days, mostly when travelling: you can find them (and him) on Instagram.
Together with his friends and extraordinary teams he started several other ventures, including a Coffee brand (Green Cup Coffee), an orange subscription business (Oh!Saft), a tea brand (Tree of Tea). They are sometimes also active as Business Angels. Portfolio companies include Startups (e.g. Minubo, making Business Intelligence easy for everyone) or more traditional business models like biosanica (organic Apple Chips).
