Sebastian Wieland studied Technology and Management-Oriented Business Administration at the Technical University of Munich, with mechanical engineering as a technical minor and a semester abroad at Columbia University in New York.
The focus on startups developed during his studies: courses at UnternehmerTUM, an environment of fellow students and friends founding their own companies, and technology management courses at both TUM and Columbia. Alongside this came a lasting interest in hardware and robotics — particularly in the interplay between hardware and software.
Today he advises exactly this field on tax matters. The interdisciplinary background pays off at a specific point: translating technical product development into tax and accounting terms — for instance when delineating development costs or applying the research allowance.
