Dr Gesa Biermann is a finalist at the German Startup Awards 2025

Our founder and CEO Dr. Gesa Biermann is a finalist at the German Startup Awards 2025 🎉

We’re incredibly excited: Our co-founder and CEO Dr. Gesa Biermann is among the Top 3 finalists of the German Startup Awards 2025 in the category "Impact Entrepreneur of the Year"!

The German Startup Awards, organized by the German Startups Association (Bundesverband Deutsche Startups), honor outstanding individuals each year who are shaping the German startup ecosystem with courage, innovation, and vision. The finalists are selected by an independent jury – based on their entrepreneurial achievements, societal impact, and inspiring leadership.

We’re beyond proud that Gesa is one of this year’s finalists. Why? Because:

• She has turned Pina Earth from a bold idea into a flagship project for regional climate action. With her sustainability expertise, ambition, and innovative mindset, she has helped shape the market for high-quality, transparent carbon credits from German forests. 🌱
• ‍Her passion for driving positive change goes far beyond Pina Earth – from co-founding 180 Degrees Consulting Munich, to launching a sustainable fashion brand, to her voluntary engagement in social and environmental causes. For Gesa, sustainable impact isn’t just a job – it’s a mindset. 💚
• And most importantly: She inspires us every single day with her dedication to building a planet-friendly future. As a mentor, she not only enriches our culture at Pina Earth, but also actively supports female founders and advocates for more diversity in entrepreneurship. 💡

Now it’s your turn – every vote counts, and public voting is open!
