  • HR software start-up Personio is worth more than $6.3 billion, which is quite a feat for company that was only founded in 2015. CEO Hanno Renner talked to CNBC about his journey, from building Personio's first software product with his three co-founders as college students in Munich, Germany, to heading up a multi-billion dollar business with offices in five countries. Renner also discussed what lessons he was able to take from working part-time as a yacht skipper, while he was college student, into his current role as a CEO.

    To all complaining about this isn't an innovative product and products like this already exist don't really know about how shit the user experience of HR enterprise software are. Typically companies don't like investing a lot of money on these department and they see less progress/innovation as result. Making a product is not always about coming up with something that didn't exist before. It's about solving problems in existing solutions. And that's how many successful companies are built.

      I study at the same university he did. What he studied is called „technology and management oriented econ“. They actually have to learn how to program in contrast to classic econ students, but they’re programming skills are limited. I believe in the beginning he actually also programmed a little bit himself but the bulk was probably done by some of the computer science guys of our university (TUM).
