HSBA Alumni Talk with Jonathan Kurfess, Founder of Appinio

In our new event series, HSBA Alumni Talks, we would like to introduce our alumni. Together with the HSBA Alumni Association and students, we invite guests who have made impressive achievements and developed exciting ideas. In entertaining, open discussion rounds, HSBA alumni will talk about their experiences and answer all questions in detail.

Jonathan Kurfess

We are especially pleased to have Jonathan Kurfess, the founder of Appinio, as a guest for our first event.  

Jonathan Kurfess (born 2010) studied Business Administration at the HSBA and is the founder of the market research institute Appinio. Appinio revolutionized market research at its core and is now the largest digital opinion network in the world - with thousands of answers to questions within a few hours.  In the course of his career, Jonathan won a number of prizes and awards for this: Among other things, he made it into the top 3 at the German Founder's Award in September 2022 and was able to count himself among Capital Magazine's "Top 40 under 40" in November 2022. 

In our Alumni Talk we would like to talk to Jonathan about his founding experiences, successes and setbacks, valuable experiences in building organizations and brands, his personal plans and the vision for Appinio.
