Tristan Antonis Schmitt
I was born on August 20, 2002, in Darmstadt ⚜️ to a German 🇩🇪 father and a Polish 🇵🇱 mother, growing up with a rich blend of both cultures. From a young age, I was captivated by technology, often taking apart and reassembling PCs during elementary school just to understand how they worked. This early fascination naturally led me to pursue my studies in Digital Enterprise Management at the University of Applied Sciences in Neu-Ulm.
My entrepreneurial spirit also emerged early. In the 5th grade, I started my first business—a small kiosk run from my school locker, where I undercut the school’s own prices. I loved advising not only my classmates but also my family and their friends on the best deals and finding the perfect balance between price and quality. This passion for business and consulting has stayed with me, and I’m now part of a student-run consultancy, where I continue to develop my skills in strategic thinking and client advisory, further fueling my passion for entrepreneurship.
After completing the 9th grade of middle school in Darmstadt, my family moved to Augsburg, where I attended a commercial school in Bavaria. I then earned my technical diploma in International Business at a technical college in Munich before starting my studies in Neu-Ulm.
Traveling the world has also been a significant part of my life, broadening my perspectives and enriching my understanding of global business practices, constantly seeking out opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.
