Biography
Georg is currently working on his PhD thesis at the Vienna University of Technology in collaboration with the Austrian Institute of Technology, conducting a comparative analysis of university incubators in Europe and the USA. His interest for this topic came through his work at Stanford’s Startup Accelerator StartX in Palo Alto, California. There he was focusing on Mentor Labs, a new StartX initiative that connects the best early-stage entrepreneurs out of Stanford with top mentors from Silicon Valley. Furthermore, Georg currently acts as the Project Manager for the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs Program in Austria, and is planning to establish a similar initiative between the USA and Europe. Before StartX he was teaching at the Entrepreneurship Center of the New York Institute of Technology and supported the establishing of their university incubator. He is also an international business consultant, working with the United Nations in the US, Africa and Europe and consulting a variety of startups, and projects with a social cause (e.g. shelter for crisis regions, sub-urban farming). Georg initially started his career with Vamed in international project management, dealing with customers and partners in Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia. For his academic career he was based in Vienna, Austria (where he is originally from), Cambridge, USA and Perth, Australia. He is a passionate traveler and leading educational tours of American and Canadian groups through Europe in the summer month. He co-authored the book “Beyond Silicon Valley: Examples of successful StartUp Hubs”.
