Stephanie Wissmann
For enterprises and startups looking for fresh and new perspectives BEYOND THE OBVIOUS.
I work as a researcher and entrepreneur in residence at the University of federal army, as a lecturer at Munich Business School and Digital Business University in Berlin, as Vice President Digital and Growth (and culture) at tyntec. I am CMO at the spacetechaccelerator SpaceFounders, Co-founder of Let´s Dine, DIGITALinnit and founder of stepanini, worklabinnovation and Bibliothek der Gefühle.
My projects are focussed on exploring innovation and entrepreneurship in all its forms (be it hybrid or public), on how this affects possible futures of work and how growth (be it professional or business) is pursued.
In my role as CMO at SpaceFounders, the first European spacetech accelerator launched in Spring 2021, I'm tasked with building up the community and forming strategic partnerships. My aim is to make SpaceFounders stand out among the multitude of existing accelerator programs. Succeeded so far.
"Let's Dance" is the name of a successful TV show. We support the call to dance. One should dance a lot. One should also eat very well. With strangers, smart, interesting people. At special places. That is then more than just a good meal. That is almost art. Or something in between.
That's why there is "Let's Dine." Let's have a delicious time.
It has a little sister: Le salon.
The Space Leaders Society is a community of entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders focused on shaping the emerging space industry. Through connecting space with art, philosophy and business, we aim to apply the Overview Effect to create a more connected and inspired world.
stepanini is a lifestyle blog. The woman magazine "myself" once called it "slow media" at its best. Nothing more to add.
It started as a fun project out of curiosity over 15 years ago and is still dear to my hear. Courage is always rewarded.
What others say about me.
In case you wonder how it is to work with me.
I let others do the talking. The range of projects differs, but the attitude and approach of working stays the same.

Working for the Best Clients
Susan Sontag said, "I write to find out what I think." I follow her example.
My latest thoughts.
Included in all my projects and across my work are elements of books and beauty, aesthetics and intelligence, warmth and competence. Call it what you will, but it's distinct from what you typically encounter. It goes beyond the obvious. It is a bit avantgarde and surprising.

SLASH
WORK unveiled and decoded
The straightforward question, "What do you do for a living?" is increasingly met with a response that Facebook once coined for its array of relationship statuses: "It's complicated."
Nowadays, people don't easily fit into a single category or the black-and-white binary of employment versus entrepreneurship, or profession versus hobby.
The modern mantra "You can have it all" challenges the old adage "Better a bird in the hand than two in the bush," representing a new way of working in the 21st century.
