About Kilian Ekamp

At 28, I drove the rollout of ChatGPT Enterprise at Bertelsmann, Europe's largest media company, alongside OpenAI. Since then, enterprise AI adoption has become my main focus, working with companies such as Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Runway, Black Forest Labs, and others for the Bertelsmann Group across industries. 

On the side, I'm trying to do my part for the growing global demand in AI education through courses on Udemy and videos on YouTube.

I also do research. At Multipreneurship.org, I'm studying small bets entrepreneurship as a legitimate alternative to the VC-backed startup model that dominates business schools. The work is inspired by Daniel Vassallo. Long-term, I want to bring this practice into entrepreneurship education.

Before, I was part of the early team at Founders Foundation, one of Europe's top startup hubs (per the Financial Times). I've built go-to-market strategies and scaled operations for startups in four different countries, and worked in consulting focused on digital business growth.

A couple of my interests, in no particular order: Entrepreneurship, AI in practice, Latin America, language learning, autonomous skill acquisition, next-gen education, psychology, fitness & health, football, ergodicity, convex bets.
