Lieber Gründerinnen und Gründer, ich bin Mitorganisator des DBAT. Daher verzeiht bitte - ich werde keine Zeit haben, während der Veranstaltung einen Termin mit Euch wahrzunehmen.

Nikolaus D. Bayer is Germany's Business Angel of the Year 2020, and Member of the Board of Business Angels Deutschland (BAND), the national association of Germany's angel investors.
He invests in early stage software startups both in Germany and internationally, usually shortly before or shortly after their market entry. He pays particular attention to ventures working on ambitious and substantial technological advances. If this goes along with "impact" in the sense of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals: even better!
Beyond financial resources, an essential aspect of each involvement is a steady company as advisor and sparring partner - based on more than 20 years of active entrepreneurial experience.
Before starting his "angel" life, in 2007 Nikolaus founded IRIS Analytics GmbH, a globally active solution provider for high availability real-time software preventing fraud and managing risk in electronic payments. The company was successfully sold to IBM in 2015.
Nikolaus was born in northern Germany, studied computer science at RWTH Aachen and UPM Madrid. He then moved to the Frankfurt area in 2002, where he is still based.
