How Whocan Was Founded – As Featured in SonntagsZeitung and Tages-Anzeiger

The SonntagsZeitung and the Tages-Anzeiger recently visited me and published a feature story about my career change and the founding of Whocan. In this post, I share how it all began – and why self-determination and creativity have become my biggest driving forces today.

The Beginning of a New Idea

When I quit my job as a project manager at a large corporation in 2022, very few people knew that it would eventually lead to the creation of Whocan. I wanted to build something of my own again – something that helps people organize themselves more easily and make things happen together.

From Idea to Media Story

The SonntagsZeitung picked up this story, invited me for an interview and a photo shoot, and published a full-page feature about it.

Self-Determination, Creativity, and Courage

“It was exactly this impulse that led to the creation of Whocan – a tool that helps teams, friends, or families plan events and meet-ups without endless email threads or WhatsApp messages.”

During the interview, we talked about self-determination, creativity, and the courage to start something new after many years in a corporate environment. Today, I’m grateful for every piece of feedback from people who use Whocan in their daily lives.
