Tim Marbach

Angel Investor & Entrepreneur

Backing bold, audacious founders.

 

Realizing your dream and building a successful company is hard work and an emotional rollercoaster. I know it. I started my first company during the financial crisis in 2008 turning down a job offer from Goldman Sachs. But once you taste that sense of ownership and freedom you will never go back.

I want to use my hard-earned money to leverage my time to do more “cool shit”: help ambitious founders realize their dreams, help them build successful companies in the areas of the world that need fixing or are just fun to tackle.
