About
Started early. Never stopped.
Hey, I'm Jakob. I'm 17 and discovered my passion for entrepreneurship and startups early. Right now I'm building Timeable, an app that gives students a smart, digital solution for their school day. On the side, I lead the Stuttgart chapter of the Young Founders Network and I'm always open to new challenges, collaborations and conversations.
