Our Vision, Mission & Values
At fonio, we believe in hard work, steady growth and the courage to question norms. We hire based on performance and passion – regardless of origin, appearance or background. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone is accepted for who they are and can do the most exciting work of their career.
fonio.ai was founded in 2024 by Matthias Gruber and Daniel Keinrath. Both are experienced founders with complementary strengths.
Matthias is responsible for technical development and has already successfully led tech teams with over 100 people. He has also been named European champion in web development.
Daniel brings extensive expertise in marketing and sales to the table. He first founded an event agency that still successfully serves hundreds of thousands of guests every year. He then built a start-up, which he scaled to 2,500 B2B customers in just four years before selling it.
