Description

Meet Alex [https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-sohl/]: Founder and CEO of ME Energy [https://meenergy.earth/]. For Newton it was the apple; for Alex it was his car running out of battery in the middle of the Swabian Alps, which made him make his major realisation: the electric grid infrastructure simply wasn't ready for the electrombility revolution. It was time for Alex to quit his job and develop a new concept: off-grid fast liquid electricity charging stations. His parents weren't in favour; to his grandmother he didn't even dare to tell. But few years' after, Alex has a scaleup, expanding from Germany and Poland across Europe. And yes, even the German Chancellor dropped by to pay him a visit.

We invited the professional trio for a conversation in our studios to ask their about their respective and joint journey. They told us about their view of risk-taking, impact driven innovation, and… pillow-fights – a major part of their startup culture.
