MY MISSION - LET ME WALK YOU ALONG MY JOURNEY

he first chapter has been written; now it’s time for the second.

I’m here to help you reach everyone and fully leverage your potential.

Discover VIDEO.TAXI: The power of an innovative platform enhanced by my extensive experience in communication services.

Hi, I am Michael, founder of VIDEO.TAXI. I've always been a pioneer at heart. My media journey began long ago, yet it’s far from old-fashioned. I started my own student newspaper at twelve and later, as a young entrepreneur, I launched the world's first flight-sharing service . I learned that to make an impact, you must always be one step ahead. In 1997, I embarked on my first chapter with live streaming, aiming to provide everyone the same opportunitiesonce exclusive to TV stations.

From my days as a reporter and my time in front of microphones and cameras at Radio Gong 96.3, RTL, and ARD , to overcome challenges like the dot-com bubble burst in 2000 and the rise of YouTube, which nearly bankrupted me due to its free hosting—I realized the crucial need to stay innovative. Technologically, we can reach everyone. But what about content-wise? This leads us to the second chapter of my mission :

Reaching Everyone - This is what I bring to VIDEO.TAXI, a platform that elevates your communication.

The value of your content has just multiplied..

Whether you’re involved in the event industry, marketing, or public sector , VIDEO.TAXI extends your reach and enables you to communicate with your audience in completely new ways. From live subtitling of big events to automated voice overs with naturally sounding voices—we provide the tech you need to stand out and be universally understood.
