About Valentin Lahr
Valentin, 24 years old, completed his degree in International Management as part of a dual study program at a medium-sized company in southern Germany with 1,000 employees. During his studies, he focused intensively on the topic of disruption and new digital platform business models. At the time, he was already focusing on digital sales and marketing strategies and developed a business incubator model for German SMEs in his bachelor's thesis in order to develop innovations and new business areas. After successfully completing his degree, he was given the opportunity to put this theory into practice with his dual partner. He started with a 4-person founding team in the corporate start-up goconut GmbH & Co. KG and was given the task of strategically developing the areas of marketing and sales. Almost two years later, the start-up and team are growing steadily.
