Asia Tech Podcast - EP 135 - Christian Mischler - co-Founder of Deskimo - It Does Not Make Sense to Trade Time for Money

The Asia Tech Podcast finally had the chance to catch up with Christian Mischler, a co-Founder of Deskimo.  Christian is really so much more than that... Christian grew up in a family of educators, with no substantive business experience, yet he was always interested in business.  He started his first business in high school, building websites for Swiss-based SMEs.  While at university, Christian started his second company - making flashcards and writing summaries to help students get into university and rolled this out across Switzerland. Some of the other topics Christian and I discussed: The Swiss Army and joining Credit Suisse after graduation Worked at CS for two years and enjoyed the work, but made more money from his ventures Came to Asia with Rocket Internet to help build FoodPanda, his bosses at CS thought he was a bit crazy The great story behind the founding of HotelQuickly The birth of the Swiss Founders Fund Not living paycheck to paycheck, but not living a luxurious lifestyle How entrepreneurs see the world through the lens of opportunity, not problems The excitement of building things and working with a cool team on something new How the pandemic has changed the way people collaborate and work The evolution of Central Business Districts and the repurposing of office buildings Deskimo - an asset-light extension of a corporate office
