Gunter Festel is a successful entrepreneur who has developed the Founding Angels investment model and (co-) founded, as Founding Angel, various technology start-ups in Germany and Switzerland. For example, he was co-founder and CEO of Butalco, a company developing a technology platform for the production of biofuels and biochemicals, which was sold to the French company Lesaffre in 2014. This technology enables biofuel producers to use waste material instead of food to solve the “food vs. fuel” dilemma.
Roman Boutellier is a retired professor of the University St. Gallen as well as a retired professor and vice president of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich and former CEO of SIG, one of the largest packaging multinationals in Switzerland. He is currently board member of the AMANN Group and Georg Fischer AG and president of the board of directors of Appenzeller Cantonal Bank.
