Bastian Burger
Director
TUM Venture Labs
As a passionate innovator and experienced founder, I combine in-depth knowledge in the realms of startups, technology, and education. With a strong background in physics and management, I understand both the technical and business challenges facing today's companies.
My career is characterized by diverse experiences, starting with founding and leading blik, a pioneering startup in industrial IoT and intralogistics. As CEO, I guided the company from concept to market readiness, leading a team of 20 talents and securing prominent clients.
In my current role as a consultant and mentor, I assist scale-ups and medium-sized businesses in developing innovative growth strategies. My focus is on integrating digital components into existing product portfolios and enhancing user experience to ensure successful market positioning.
As a lecturer and researcher in the field of resilience and mental well-being of startup founders, I share my knowledge and experiences. My research at HHL Leipzig is dedicated to the well-being and narcissism among entrepreneurs, a topic of great significance for sustainable entrepreneurship.
My aim is to build a startup ecosystem in Munich that provides entrepreneurs with the support I missed in my own founding phase. Through my work, I hope to pave the way for future entrepreneurs and foster innovations that are both economically and ecologically sustainable.
