Summary

Mathias Nestler has co-founded several startups in his career, in the insure-tech and fintech spaces. Outside of tech, he does kite surfing and diving. He claims that the calmness under the water is the best way to unwind from tech life. His favorite place he's dived before was in Thailand, where he observed his first seahorse. He often takes the train to Switzerland to see his significant other, and they like to cook at home together. Coming from a regulated industry, Mathias wanted to build something to help him keep track and document who has access to what, which is a huge time sync and security risk. One day, he had one of his fellow CTO's ask him if he knew of a tool that could do this... and he started thinking, "Maybe I should just build it?". This is the creation story of AccessOwl.
