Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRouven Herzog is a founder and technologist with 11 years of experience building web products and data-driven platforms from MVP to exit. As Co-Founder and former CTO of Wonderway he led product, engineering and security, grew a team to 10 engineers, helped secure €2.2M in seed funding and was part of a 2024 acquisition by BTS. He blends a background in media and computing (graduated with distinction) with hands-on full‑stack development, startup advising and a formal data analytics nanodegree, making him comfortable across product, data and engineering decisions. Based in Hamburg, he now splits time between founding new ventures in games and advising early-stage teams, bringing a pragmatic focus on validating ideas quickly and scaling tech teams. An underappreciated strength is his cross-disciplinary training in game design and economics, which he leverages to create engaging, data-informed user experiences.
