Vita

Stefan Stücklschweiger is a 38-year old Austrian entrepreneur, passionate maker and leader. He co-founded Fifteen Seconds, a company that lives at the intersection of business, innovation and creativity, hosting Europe’s largest festival for curious minds.

He started his career right after he graduated, scaling one of Austria’s first digital nightlife communities from zero to 30.000 users within two months. Highly interested in the early beginnings of the European Startup-Up Scene, he soon got the opportunity to help starting a pioneering company within the sports data industry. During the following years he did not only build a global network, employing more than 1200 data collecting people all over the world, but he also had the privilege to open the Kuala Lumpur office for the Graz and Zurich based company at the age of 21.

Always running for new opportunities, he became one of the first employees of DailyDeal early 2010, a digital couponing platform in Europe which was sold to Google for more than 100 million dollars.

In May 2012 he started what is now a global community gathering thinkers, makers and innovators at Europe’s leading conference to network, learn and get inspired. The annual event hosts some of the world’s most successful individuals for a week in Austria, including leaders from brands like Google, The New York Times, Starbucks, Facebook, Mercedes Benz, Twitter, Amazon, Red Bull, Microsoft and Apple, to name just a few.

He successfully grew a yachting travel and leisure product for millennials from a few hundred to many thousand customers, worked as a marketing and sales consultant for a national hockey league team, regularly lectures at several universities in Austria and is invited to conferences to talk about culture, growth hacking and sales.

In 2017, Stefan became partner at moodley, an award-winning international design and strategy consultancy.

He co-founded Rotary Club Graz Fortuna in 2020.
