Frankfurt, October 10, 2023. At just 15 years old, Jerome Evans, founder and CEO of firstcolo GmbH, started his first online business from his childhood bedroom while still in school. Today, he provides IT infrastructure not only for DAX corporations. How he built his own company, what drives him, what challenges he had to overcome, and what his grandmother has to do with his success—he shares all this in the new series “SELFMADE” with journalist and producer Leonard Geßner. In the first season, available for streaming on Prime Video since September 8, Geßner speaks with unique entrepreneurs such as Saygin Yalcin, Julia Bösch, and Sebastian Mastalka about their stories, takes a behind-the-scenes look at companies like “true fruits,” and conducts the first interview in years with the founding trio.
What makes a good investment? How do you keep a cool head in online poker? What mindset defines a good entrepreneur? And who inspired him to support the construction of several school buildings in Ghana? All these questions are addressed in the sixth episode of the new interview series, set in London. Additionally, the Frankfurt-based entrepreneur with Bremen roots shares how a coin toss decision brought him his first windfall—one that would prove decisive for his future. All under the guiding question of the series: What defines successful entrepreneurs who have built a company through their own efforts?
