Sebastian Brandes Kraaijenzank's Summary

I work with web & mobile development. Throughout time, I've worked in the web development consultancy industry, the e-commerce industry and the real estate industry. Right now, I'm in grad school studying Quantitative Methods at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Spain. I'm interested in financial economics and venture capital and I want to combine my experience in the startup world with my interest in finance.

I have started my own businesses and I'm experienced in the Internet startup sector. I hold advisor positions in a variety of startups where I am advising on management of dev. projects and developers. I have participated in many Startup Weekends (see http://startupweekend.org/) where I've helped out on web/mobile dev. issues. I'm an experienced programmer and quantitative analyst.

In March 2008, I co-founded Renomedia I/S to offer web development services. In July 2010, we changed our name to Mivando since we increased our focus on our main product. Mivando is a hosted e-commerce platform developed in 2010 and based in Denmark (Copenhagen and Aarhus). While a lot of webshop providers compete in a tense market, Mivando is different in the way that it offers a simple and easy-to-manage solution for non-technical e-merchants.
