A membership well deserved

Alexander Bachmann launched his first IT projects at the very early age, collaborating with the top advertising market players in Germany. He then founded Admitad in 2009 as an affiliate network, which quickly expanded into emerging markets and gained a reputation as a transparent and trustworthy platform for advertisers and publishers.

After years of growing the company and acquiring a few more businesses, Alexander Bachmann took a decision to build a new parent company Mitgo unifying all Admitad entities, and taking ownership of all solutions and services in the MarTech, FinTech, Smart Shopping and IT-driven Startup Incubation sectors.

Alexander Bachmann sees transparency and fairness as top priorities for his growing business. Bachmann has been listed among top 50 online marketing players in Germany according to OMR, and has already been interviewed by Forbes.com telling his remarkable and inspiring entrepreneurial story.

Key insights from the first post

Being an entrepreneur himself and leading a company employing over 700 people in 10+ offices worldwide, Alexander never underestimated the essential first steps that could help building a new company and launching successful business. He shares his thoughts and insights in his very first council’s post:

• Honesty and passion are really important: transparent data about your business can make a huge decision difference in your favour.
• Saying NO is very important too, but also having a room for negotiations if your expectations are not matched by the offerings. Stay open-minded, you would be positively surprised how many unknown possibilities for your business to grow are out there.
