🎆 Celebrating a Special Day of Independence and Personal Freedom! Yesterday, America celebrated its 247th Independence Day. For my wife, Dr. Katharina Koch, and me, it was also a profound day of personal freedom as it marked our first Independence Day as United States Green Card holders, on our second day in the U.S.! The U.S. has fascinated me ever since I had the opportunity to learn the ropes of U.S. business culture during my 3 month project with Volkswagen in Auburn Hills, Michigan, in 2013. It’s amazing how full circle moments happen: the first person to celebrate with us yesterday was my first American boss and his wife from those Volkswagen days! Over the next few weeks, I’m thrilled to catch up with former colleagues, for example at McKinsey & Company USA and our U.S. investor Health Wildcatters for MedKitDoc. MedKitDoc was my first VC-backed company that I founded in 2020, which successfully reduces unnecessary hospitalizations of elderly patients in nursing homes by up to 25% with contracts from large health care insurers and nursing home chains in Germany. Since I recently sold my shares in the company, we are now truly free to move to the U.S. and choose where we want to live and work in the future! Therefore, this Independence Day holds a special place in our hearts. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us on this incredible journey! Fittingly, the day was topped off with a fantastic performance by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra complete with incredible fireworks. What a welcome to the U.S.! America, we salute you! 🇺🇸 #IndependenceDay #Freedom #NewBeginnings #Thankful
