What’s it like to start a company in your early 20s? And what do you have to give up to do so? That’s the focus of the ZDF.reportage episode “Young and Ambitious.” The episode “Company Founders in Their Early 20s” follows young founders as they navigate ambition, sacrifice, and financial risk.
Starting a Business While in School
Milan QiTech founded the company while he was still in school, together with some friends. It all started in a garage in Darmstadt. At age 15, he made filament from recycled plastic bottle caps. Today he’s 23; we build machines and software for 3D printing, have 30 employees, and serve customers in 14 countries.
This episode showcases our company and, above all, the lives of Milan and other young entrepreneurs—with all the ambitions, sacrifices, and risks that come with it.
You can see what that looks like in everyday life by watching the entire episode for free on the ZDF media library: Watch “Jung und Macher.”
