Armin Fricke

Armin has always been an entrepreneur. It all started with a biorhythm program back in 1982, when he was a high school student. Commodore PET 3001, Commodore C64, Apple IIe and the IBM PC ran the BASIC program. 5.25″ floppy disks reached the users via snail mail.

Since 1986, he co-founded 10+ IT companies. After all, he produced one deep crater and several products without enough traction.

In 2020, Capital-Gain Consultants launched Simulate 365, a simulation framework for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and life science industries.

Armin graduated with a Wirtschaftsingenieur diploma in economics and engineering from Karlsruhe University (TH)(1992). He received a Doctor in Economics from Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (Austria)(1997).
