Description

We co-founded and led Viafintech (Barzahlen) to 100+ employees - one of Germany’s most successful fintechs, active in 17 markets across the EU and US, and sold in 2021 to the NYSE-listed Paysafe Group. Now we’re building our next venture: finperks — a global platform for all prepaid products: gift cards (Apple, Amazon, Google), airtime, and eCash — all via one simple API. Think of finperks as the “Stripe for Prepaid.” We started in summer 2025 and have already onboarded 700+ brands. The first client goes live by the end of the year. The prepaid market is massive — €600bn today, growing to €1.8tn by 2028. We’re a team of eight based in Berlin-Charlottenburg - a mix of experienced founders and talented new joiners. High ownership, low ego, kind people. We move fast, support each other, and celebrate wins together.
