New Narratives | Karma Capital | Blinkist

Less mille, more democracy

Sebastian is a psychologist, entrepreneur and author. As co-founder of the knowledge app Blinkist, he became a multimillionaire by selling the start-up in 2023.

But instead of resting on his laurels, the native of Allgäu only kept 10 % and gave away the rest of his fortune, convinced that extreme wealth is detrimental to society.

In 2017, he founded the business magazine New narratives which propagates new labour and corporate models as responsible ownership.

2018 followed Karma Capital, an investment company that deploys capital specifically to solve social problems.

What all these projects have in common is that the focus is not on maximising profit, but on sustainable impact and the common good

As an activist and author, he is committed to social justice and a stronger focus on the common good.
