THE “WUNDERFLEET” STARTUP

A shining example of a successful startup originating from the Ruhr area is Fleetbird with its founders Benjamin Krüger (CEO) and Philip Müller (COO). Though founded in Berlin, the owners had the courage to take the plunge and went back home to Dortmund. This step was followed by a move to Wunder Mobility, Europe’s fastest-growing mobility tech company. At the end of 2018, Fleetbird turned into Wunder Fleet, and the Dortmund-based company has been completing the Hamburg company’s portfolio with its product ever since. Wunder Fleet remains, however, firmly based out of Dortmund.
