Caterina Kiehntopf

Yo, have you heard about Caterina Kiehntopf? She’s the real deal in the startup world, especially when it comes to transforming urban mobility. She’s the GM for Germany at Dance, the crazy-fast scooter startup from YC’s F24 batch. Basically, she’s the boss over there in Germany, running the show for all their fleets in the country, starting with Berlin. That city’s her playground now, but she’s got big plans to spread that green, bike-friendly vibe across Germany’s major cities.

But here’s the thing-Caterina’s story is more than just running scooters. She’s got a wild background in logistics, biz dev, and international expansion. She’s bounced around the world-London, Mexico City, NYC, Copenhagen, Maastricht, Hamburg-learning the ropes, building stuff, and crushing it in different markets. She’s all about making cities more livable, more sustainable, and honestly, she’s combining her love for cycling with her startup hustle to make a real impact.

What does this tell you about her? She’s super driven, no bullshit. The kind of person who jumps into tough markets, figures out what works, and then scales it. She’s passionate about fixing urban transport, and she’s not just talking-she’s out there making it happen. Her experience shows she’s got that entrepreneurial grit-she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty, learn from different places, and push for change.

So, yeah, Caterina isn’t just riding scooters. She’s on a mission to change cities from the ground up. She sees the future in bikes, green mobility, and smarter cities-and she’s out there building that future with Dance. No Cap, she’s someone to watch.
