The idea for a successful underground festival was inspired by the London music festival “Camden Crawl”, which takes place during the day in pubs and other locations in Camden Town. Since 2011, we have organised the Berlin Torstraßen Festival along the various locations on Torstraße. The team behind the festival consists of Andrea Goetzke, Melissa Perales and Norman Palm.

In summer 2015 I decided to found an additional company. I wanted to create a new basis for all the ideas that previously had been put on ice. CBO invests in Start-Ups and supports and advises young companies in creating and developing their business models and the implementation of strategies. CBO also initiates and organises its own innovative ideas.
