5 questions for Jörn

1. how long have you been a member of the ConversionBuddy teams?

I have been a co-founder and shareholder since day 1.

2. what exactly are your tasks?

I am currently working as a managing partner and backend developer with an eye on the big picture. In addition to fundamental architecture decisions, technology scouting and development planning, I am currently primarily responsible for the part of the development that falls within the areas of A/B testing and clickstream and billing data. I also find myself relatively often acting as an advisor or firefighter in difficult questions and situations.

3. why do you like working at ConversionBuddy?

I particularly like working with the buddies because we complement each other so well and the atmosphere in the team is great. It's great fun to be able to work with these intrinsically motivated people to get something off the ground together.

4. what do you do in your free time?

In my free time, you can find me in the forest or at the gym with my Labrador Elon. From my youth, I have also retained an enthusiasm for board sports and therefore try to ride down a mountain on a snowboard as often as I can as a northern German. Apart from that, I still like to devour books in paper form.

5. if your pet could talk, what would it say about you?

"Unfortunately, it's difficult to keep him from his work. I always have to get up to a lot of nonsense to get him out of his home office. When he lets me into the garden, I eat so many rotten apples until he finally plays with me because it annoys him so much. Nevertheless, he protects me from bad dogs at the risk of his health and gives me my food every day."

Bonus question: What advice would you give a new founder?

My tip for all founders: Focus on the product and customers right from the start and focus less on yourself (corporate design, office, company car, etc.). Create value for others as early as possible and earn money with the product. Strict prioritization and a great deal of industry knowledge are required in order not to overdo it or get bogged down. Big challenges are easier to overcome if they are broken down into many small challenges. And it is less difficult with a multidisciplinary team of founders.
