Paul Prins is a director-level software leader, entrepreneur, and bi-vocational minister with over two decades of web development experience, currently leading Urban Monastics from Paris and founding Fresh Vine Studio to build mission-driven software for nonprofits. He launched his first social platform in 2001, scaled MidwestSkier into a community and events business, and later built Fresh Vine into a full-featured SaaS membership and giving platform informed by his background in nonprofit studies and a Masters of Divinity. Equally comfortable in code, product, and pastoral care, he combines interface design and technology integration with public speaking and contextualization for global missions and community engagement. Paul’s work at arts and events organizations such as the American Pavilion at Cannes and roles in startup ecosystems demonstrate an unusual blend of festival-grade operational tech coordination and transatlantic startup advising. Notably, his long-running focus has been simplifying administrative systems for community organizations—turning front-line ministry insights into practical, usable software.
