Bj\u00f6rn Go\u00df came into entrepreneurship as many do \u2013 with an idea ready to disrupt the way customers do business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The year was 2011 and Bj\u00f6rn had just finished his bachelor’s degree at the University of Mannheim in Germany. He and his friend David Handlos were exploring what the next chapter of their life might look like and spitballing ideas for their own venture.<\/p>\n

We said \u2018Well actually it should be way beyond pure payments and focus on the whole shopping journey including loyalty cards, coupons, gift cards, mobile payments and more,\u2019\u201d says Bj\u00f6rn.<\/p>\n

It was then that the early vision for Stocard \u2013 an app that allows users to declutter their wallets by organizing all their loyalty cards into one central location \u2013 was created.<\/p>\n

Fast forward 12 years and 70 million users and Bj\u00f6rn\u2019s startup has become one of Europe\u2019s most used apps. The company was acquired in a \u20ac140 million deal by Klarna in 2021.<\/p>\n
