Hamed Rahimi DarehchiFounder & CEO, Solutions-apps DG GmbH

A founder's story in eight chapters

From QBasic at eight to an ERP used in 60+ countries.

I'm Hamed Rahimi Darehchi, founder of Solutions-apps DG GmbH in Bielefeld. My father taught me to program when I was eight. Since then I have worked in hydrography, networks, transportation, international sales, e-commerce and direct selling. Each industry taught me the same thing: companies don't pay for code. They pay for solved problems.
