About Tim Ringel
About me
I’m born in the 70th so I know what i’m talking about when you want to discuss how the internet started. It was my golden twenty’s when i started my first Internet Business and obviously at that time i had now clue what i wanted to do or was doing at that time. The good news is i missed the 1999/2000 internet bubble with my company but used the vacuum afterwards to grow my digital advertising agency metapeople from 5 people into 120 people with 7 offices in Germany, Switzerland, London, San Francisco and Hong Kong.
I was always entrepreneurial without realising that i guess. Growing up with my parents running their own hospitality business for generations and changing schools a couple of times in my first years i kind of always wanted to do something entrepreneurial but didn’t know until i plugged my computer onto a phone line one day and discovered the potential of freedom out there.
Having sold my first business until nearly 15 years of successful growth tough me that sustainability and ethical values don’t necessary collide with entrepreneurial drive to build, change, build again and make your money with that line of work.
Today, lets say in 2014, I’m still very active in the digital industry running a 450+ people digital agency with 19 offices around Europe and the Globe (www.netbooster.com). I would call that my 24/7 day job 
Besides that i’m active as a startup business angle and investor in Internet and Technology companies. Some of them making me dramatically proud to be part of and I think I can say: If the day job is your bread and butter the BA work is my air to breath!!!
