Internet icon Lars Hinrichs came up with the idea for an early stage, pre-seed, evergreen (no fixed funding cycle) investment company for top technology talent across Europe. His vision: Free the best developers and coders from their corporate jobs and help them build their own game-changing companies.

Hinrichs, who previously founded XING (a popular social-networking site for professionals), asked our designers to help him turn his vision into a reality. Together we developed the business from scratch.

HackFwd accelerates the route to beta, profitability and success by enabling entrepreneurs to focus on what they do best and by providing support for administrative tasks that do not drive value. With HackFwd, Hinrichs aims to revolutionize the European tech industry, increase the number of successful start-ups in the region and put Europe on the global innovation map.
