Till Behnke
Till Behnke majored in business informatics. From 2000 until 2003, he was product manager for paybox. After an extended stay in Africa, Till returned to Germany to work for car manufacturer DaimlerChrysler. In 2006, Till felt the need to combine his degree in business informatics, his professional expertise as a project manager and the ambivalent encounter with the African continent to a more meaningful end than a career in a trans national corporation. In 2007 he surrounded himself with a highly motivated, interdisciplinary team to start betterplace.org – a global platform that was to be a bridge between needs and new, innumerable opportunities. In 2008, Till won an fellowship from Ashoka, the biggest organization for social entrepreneurship in the world.
Up to the present, betterplace.org has generated more than 800,000 Euro from more than 10,000 users for 300 projects all over the world.
