Marc is a serial entrepreneur and has a love of connecting human behavior with computer science.
He started his career as a freelance consultant at Apple before co-founding his first company, Plugware (a web based distribution platform for plug-ins), which was quickly acquired by COSS AG where he stayed on and as the VP product marketing. After that he developed a web based real estate platform that was acquired by a major German Publishing Group and then subsequently developed the logistics and billing system that major international catalog companies and magazines use for the processes behind digital image enhancements.
Marc later joined Target Partners, one of Europe’s most successful Venture Capitalists, and left within a year to co-found Scoreloop. Target Partners saw the market opportunity and immediately invested in Scoreloop.
Marc holds a PhD (Dr. rer. biol. hum.) with focus on computer science and statistics from the University of Munich (LMU), Germany and a Dipl.-Kfm. (MBA equivalent) from the University of Hagen, Germany.
On the weekends Marc can be found in the park enjoying time with his family. In addition to his family, he loves photography, playing mobile games, and responding to player challenges! His handle on Scoreloop is simply: marc.
