Lasse is a purpose driven serial entrepreneur.
While pursuing his purpose of improving the lives of millions of people in a significant and positive way he founded several companies such as FounderBlocks.io or Hofly.de.
While Hofly helps transforming the way we create food to a more sustainable way, the vision of FounderBlocks is to create more meaningful startups which are actually purpose oriented rather than just money-machines.
Lasse Schuirmann is a freelance software developer who cares passionately about open source, collaboratively developed software. After he was awarded the Google Summer of Code sholarship, he began mentoring several students while administering the GSoC program for the GNOME organization. Currently he spends most of his time maintaining and developing his open source project coala to help developers improving their code quality without hassle. The coala project group has more than 500 contributors and is present at conferences all around the world.
In his spare time, Lasse forges high quality (mostly python) software and conducts workshops for clients of his company Viper Development (viperdev.io), develops GitMate (gitmate.io), a hand crafted piece of software that supports developers during their whole workflow, and talks and performs workshops at conferences around the globe.
