The Idea of NextStep

After Lorenz sold his first company vamos! to Jodel, he fully commits to social recruiting. He writes his thesis on AI-supported recruiting. Finn and Lorenz develop a vision for NextStep HR - the recruiting of tomorrow.

Previous Founding Successes

Lorenz founds SipTogether with fellow students, an app designed to connect people. Finn founds PforzheimHilft with friends, a local aid organization for at-risk groups.

Birth of Social Recruiting
