Lars Hinrichs is the Founder of the Digital Art Museum, a pioneering institution at the intersection of art and technology. A visionary entrepreneur and investor, he continues to shape the digital landscape by backing innovative tech startups and driving forward-thinking ventures.

His passion for digital innovation began early—he first logged onto the internet in 1989 using an acoustic coupler and never looked back. At 22, he founded politik-digital.de, an award-winning platform exploring politics and new media. He later launched XING, the world's first Web 2.0 company to go public in 2006, successfully leading it through its IPO and beyond.

Today, Lars remains deeply involved in technology, investing in game-changing ideas and shaping the future of digital culture through his work at the Digital Art Museum.
