What does it really take to build, sell, and build again? Nikita Fahrenholz has done it four times, across food delivery, home services, luxury, and wellness. From co-founding Lieferheld, which laid the foundation for Delivery Hero, to scaling Book A Tiger across Europe and founding Fahrengold and Actio, Nikita has consistently chosen building over comfort. He joins us at The Delta Campus for a fireside chat with Leo Ginsburg from Gründerszene about reinvention, exits, and the long arc of an entrepreneurial life.

What does it really take to build, sell, and build again, and what keeps a founder going through four very different companies in food delivery, home services, luxury, and wellness?
Nikita Fahrenholz has lived all of it.
As co-founder of Lieferheld, Nikita helped lay the foundation of what would become Delivery Hero, one of the most defining food delivery platforms of the last decade. As co-founder and CEO of Book A Tiger, he built one of Germany's best known professional cleaning marketplaces from scratch, scaling it across Europe before its acquisition by Helpling in 2019. Since then, he has continued building, with Fahrengold in luxury garages and Actio in fitness and coaching.
His journey is a rare, candid case study in the realities of being a serial entrepreneur in Europe. From the early days of Berlin's food delivery wars, to building service marketplaces, to backing his own niche ventures across luxury and wellness, Nikita has consistently chosen building over comfort.
On The Delta Campus, he will join us for an in depth conversation about what changes from your first company to your fourth, how to think about marketplaces and consumer brands today, when to sell and when to keep going, and why Europe is still the right place to build.
In a fireside chat with Leo Ginsburg from Gründerszene, we will explore what it takes to build category-defining consumer brands, the truth about exits and acquisitions, and what the next chapter looks like for one of Berlin's best known serial founders.
A conversation about ambition, reinvention, and the long arc of an entrepreneurial life.
