Christoph Nagel has been crafting sustainable communities for as long as he can remember. Inspired by Toms’ shoes “one for one” movement, he started his professional life by launching his own sneaker company “Jojo Project” at the age of 23. 8000 pairs of sneakers sold later, his new challenge was to help local business owners build their online reputation. He launched the recommendation website Yelp in his hometown Brussels as first and unique employee, before moving to London and play a major role in Yelp’s expansion internationally.

Today, as International Manager Europe for Kickstarter, Christoph has a new mission: Meet & support people who have an idea and want to share it with the world; from independent film-makers to talented musicians, unique dancers to self-taught chefs, photographers & comic artists. 

“Europe is full of creative minds and yet-unexplored ideas - big or small - and I can’t wait to do my very best to help bring those creative projects to life.”
