Patrick Burkert
Director Ventures & Head of Startups at Campus Founders

As an entrepreneur, consultant, and advisor, I am a dedicated business professional and venture builder with a proven track record of clients, partners, and investors. Delivering full-stack experience on product, marketing, sales, legal and talent, I am guiding and leading through executive processes in startups and companies, arriving in strategies and assets for scaling and growth. I am hands-on, keen on learning, and always creative — without losing the strategic big picture of what we are doing as a team, for the purpose of arriving where we want to be as a company.

I founded Go—PopUp, the market-leading online marketplace for short-term retail real estate, was chief marketing officer at BOATIM, an online marketplace for trading and renting boats and yachts, and worked as growth manager with Seqera, the leading modern biotech stack for scientific data analysis accessible at any scale. I've created OGNC | Entrepreneurial Collective as a consequence of all dots looking backwards, connecting those ones moving forward.

I am an angel investor in Barcelona-based mental health startup Oliva Health, Circles House Co-Living and others, and work with multiple early-stage startups as an advisor and mentor. I was selected as one of the cultural exchange ambassadors for young professionals by the German federal government and the US congress (CBYX), I am awarded the culture and creative pilots award from the federal ministry of economics in Germany in 2013 for Zeitfenster and won the real estate innovation award from EXPO Real in 2017 for Go—PopUp.

I hold a B.Sc. (Online Media | FH Furtwangen), M.A (Digital Media | HdM Stuttgart) and started a PhD (Experience Design | TU Berlin with Telekom Innovation Laboratories).

Located in Heilbronn and Barcelona and connected with my DNA in Stuttgart and Berlin, I like to meet, work with and invest in like-minded ideas, ventures and founders as the Head of Startups and Director Ventures at Campus Founders.
