There are these certain days in the life of an entrepreneur. Special, weird, magic or just very unordinary days. Moments that lead to feelings and feelings that lead to thoughts. Thoughts, that lead to a decision, a decision which puts your life upside down. Unplanned, unexpexted and completely out of the blue. First you feel uncomfortable and unsure on one hand and totally excited and blown away on the other. Then you take a desision — a decision that leads to a new road , a new chapter, a new beginning.
I spent the last 7 years — helping to build and grow a amazing company -Httpool Group. Starting from a small CEE based, 4+Market Online & Mobile Advertising Provider in 2007 to building it to a globally operating 18+Market Cross Channel Adnetwork, focussing on Emerging Markets and covering every relevant advertising region with its Technology-, Product-Mix and Service offering. I have decided to leave Httpool Group on a daily operations level — as of April 1st 2014 to start a new chapter in my life. As Httpool cofounder, I will remain a proud shareholder of the company and will support Httpool Group wherever and however i can with my new ventures, current business portfolio and network in the months and years to come.
Being an entrepreneur by heart, i have been caught and infected by a “new” and most probably the most disrupting technology transformation since the industrial revolution — 3D Technology & 3D Printing. As kind as life has been to me — i have met amazingly smart dudes, who turned out to be true pioneers in this technology field(s), with a long and proven track record on both sides — scientifically and business-wise. We have recently incorporated a new company in the field of 3D Technology & 3D Printing, with an associated B2B and B2C product offering that has launched in Germany and Europe and will soon launch in the US and Japan.
Here i am today , March 31st 2014, my 37th Birthday — i am opening a new (entrepreneurial) chapter.
New Chapter : 3D-Technology & 3D-Printing.
With my new partners, i have incorporated a new 3D-Technology company — DG Dimensions AG and we are just in the process of raising our first round of financing in order to scale the business internationally. We share the vision, that we are currently witnessing one of the most fundamental shifts in technology since the industrial revolution and we see endless opportunities for market disruption in many sectors. After observing the 3D Technology & 3D Printing Industry for the past years with huge excitement and anticipation, i am sure that this technology will fundamentally disrupt and transform the world as we know it today — especially physical and digital production processes will be revolutionised completely.

I see amazing opportunities for our new company and am convinced that we can play a crucial role in shaping the development of these markets. I am sure that our integrated Technology & Process, in combination with our amazing team of Engineers, Scientists,3D-Developers & 3D-Artists and international Salesforce, will disrupt multiple industries and will help make 3D-Technology tangible and affordable to consumers in everyday life.
Why am i so sure ? Let me show you what the Market potential is :
3D Printing has been used for quite a while in the B2B Space — especially across Automotive, Aerospace and Med-Tech — in order to further automatise certain digital and physical production processes and to produce faster, cheaper and with greater efficiency and better product quality. Now we are slowly but surely entering the B2C and consumer space — with nearly infinite opportunities in terms of fast and efficient product development and attached digital and physical production processes.
And here we are : DG Dimensions AG or just DGAG, is born.
DG Dimensions AG is a fully integrated 3D-Technology company. We aim to bring revolutionary 3D-Technology products to everyday life's.
We at DGAG 3D-Technology have developed one of the first fully integrated, scalable 3D-development and production processes. We combine our inhouse-developed Scanning-Technology, Imaging-Software-Process and attached physical 3D Printing production into ONE efficient and fully integrated process. This enables us to deliver revolutionary, high-quality, 3D-products at an affordable price range to consumers and marketers across the globe.
With one of the worlds first 3D Flagship Stores- opened 2012 in Düsseldorf, Germany — DGAG offers consumers and businesses the production of personalised, life-like 3D-Figurines, to capture unique and special moments forever. Based on the DGAG 3D-Technology Suite, we scan (in less than 0.01 seconds) and print people, animals and objects in all sizes and forms , from 10cm to über-lifesize objects.

Here is a little overview on whats possible and what our 3D-Figurines look like.

The “DGAG-Live-Scanning-Dome” captures a person, animal or object within 0.01 seconds, with its integrated 45-point scan technology and delivers the imaging basis for all further digital and physical production steps.
Revolutionary New Opportunities For Brands & Agencies in B2B & B2C
Having a 17+ yrs. professional communications backround myself , working for leading Agencies and Brands — i see amazing new opportunities for innovative, 3D Technology-based marketing and communication solutions. I am convinced that such, will dramatically change the game and disrupt the way agencies and brands communicate with consumers today. Based on DGAG 3D-Technology, we empower Agencies and Brands to deliver innovative and fully personalised communication and marketing solutions to its clients, across all communication channels, platforms and consumer touchpoints and have therefore founded a special and inter-disciplinary unit, that focuses on 3D-Innovation Marketing.
Based on our technology & process we see huge potential for diversification and verticals across a number of markets ( B2B & B2C) and attached applications in Med-Tech, Fashion, Casual Gaming & Series Gaming, Healthcare and many more…I am looking forward to explore creative opportunities with all of you and am open for your ideas, concepts and suggestions.
