Ingo Endemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingo Endemann (born March 4, 1969 in Neuss ) is one of the first internet entrepreneurs in Germany. He developed concepts for the commercial use and monetization of the Internet in Germany and founded several companies.

After graduating from high school, Endemann trained as an advertising clerk and then worked in the advertising industry. In April 1996 he founded the advertising agency Endemann !! Full-Service GmbH , which offered Internet platforms in the field of information services, e-commerce and interactive entertainment and is considered the first German Internet search engine operator. Endemann initially had a unique position on the German market with its Internet offerings. To finance the Internet platforms, Endemann marketed the direct placement of advertising space so that he could offer his online services free of charge. The growth made it possible for him to specifically participate in other start-ups and to further expand his range. In 1998 the Endemann !! Full-Service GmbH achieved a turnover of 1.3 million DM and thus reached the breakeven point . At the beginning of 1999 she became part of the Endemann !! Internet AG converted and went on March 10 of that year in the segment New Market of the Stock Exchange . When the company went public, the share price rose from € 23 to € 106 on the first day. As of August 2001, the company traded as Abacho AG and had to switch from the Neuer Markt segment to the regulated market due to the drastic drop in prices .

With Advenda Media AG , Endemann founded one of the first online marketers in Germany in June 2000 (today part of the Hi-Media group, Paris) and with Ferien AG Holidayholding in April 2000 one of the first German last-minute online tour operators , which was bought by TUI AG in 2005 . In the field of Web 2.0 , Endemann founded MyHammer AG in 2005 , which became Germany's leading online auction house for craft orders and which was later incorporated into Abacho AG . In 2007 the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group bought Ingo Endemann's shares in Abacho AG . Endemann then managed the company as CEO until the beginning of 2008. After leaving Abacho AG , Endemann founded Smart Ventures Unternehmensbeteiligung GmbH in June 2008 , a venture capital company for start-ups. In 2018 he founded GO-GASTRO! . The internet service is a job exchange for staff in the catering and hotel industries.
