Frank Maschmeier is a startup investor at Venista Ventures in Cologne. Frank is the organizational head behind SPYKE and was among the founding team. He has gathered years of experience in managing positions in the mobile entertainment industry. Prior to entering this sector, Frank had studied business informatics and worked as a manager in logistics and supply chain management. He was responsible for the developmentand control of complex logistic supply chains, a task he thinks is a good preparation for his role today. “I focus on optimizing processes, efficiency in projects and strategic controlling”, Frank says about his areas of expertise, which of course also include the General Management of a start-up such as SPYKE. Frank likes to train his strategic side also when he has some time off, playing board games with friends. For some fresh air, he enjoys sailing as well as riding his East German Simson SR50 motorcycle. And, completely non-rational: “I love teaching silly stuff to the kids of our friends.”
