IdeaMensch couldn’t exist without the help of a few amazing contributors. People who bring in interviews, people who draft our interviews, people who edit our interviews, people who write monthly expert editorials and people who host our website.
Here they are.
Mario Schulzke – Founder and Chief Doer
Mario runs the day-to-day business of IdeaMensch, which he founded after recognizing that most of his childhood heroes were entrepreneurs. He also runs the Digital Strategy practice at WDCW, does long-distance triathlons and manages his cat
Otto’s Facebook page. Mario gives talks and writes guest posts about the things he’s learned from doing 500+ IdeaMensch interviews. That and why Germans loves David Hasselhoff.

Anand Parameswaran – Operations Superstar, Head of IdeaMensch India
Anand started out as what some might call our virtual assistant. What sets Anand apart is that he truly cares about our community, that he doesn’t stop till he gets it right and that he gets it right way faster than Mario ever would. When he isn’t drafting interviews or organizing databases, Anand runs his own retail shop in Coimbatore. India where he sell fresh chickens, kitchen and insurance products.

Amanda Skerski – Editor and Girlfriend
Amanda edits all of our interviews, which she mostly does because Mario doesn’t and she is his girlfriend. Amanda is a freelance research expert, former ad agency account director and a passionate animal rights advocate.

Jeff Unger – Sponsor, Lawyer and Friend of Entrepreneurs
Technically
Jeff Unger, the Founder of eMinutes, is our sponsor. But he’s also our friend, our partner and the first guy we call for anything legal. What makes Jeff someone we want on our side is that he cares about people bringing their ideas to life as much as we do – which is why he’s helping
500 first-time entrepreneurs set-up their corporations for free.

Rohit Jain – Top Interview Getter
Rohit brings in more IdeaMensch interviews than anyone else. He is a business development guy in the SoCal startup scene–and the most talented one Mario has ever met.
