Great honor for Maximilian Wühr: The 27-year-old from Munich has landed on a list for young high-flyers.
Munich – Alongside footballer Giulia Gwinn and rapper Apache 207, he is in the best of company.
Forbes Magazine counts Maximilian Wühr (27) from Munich among the “30 under 30” in German-speaking countries.
Every year young entrepreneurs, artists and athletes find themselves in this illustrious circle;
People who exert great social influence - even though they are not yet 30 years old.
The Munich-based Wühr is one of the founders of Finn, a start-up that offers flexible leasing models for cars.
Insurance, workshop visits and vehicle tax are already included in the fixed subscription price.
The customer only has to take care of refueling on their own.
The all-round carefree package should set Finn apart from other providers.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung
calls it the “Netflix model for the car” .
Maximilian Wühr from Munich is one of the "30 under 30"
"We are revolutionizing conventional car ownership and making driving as easy as buying shoes online," says Finn, describing the model on the company's website.
"The completely digital process not only saves you time and effort, but also high costs."
In the meantime, the flourishing start-up (insiders estimate it at up to 500 million euros) has also made a name for itself in the United States.
"I want to make sure that we build up a long-term, profitable, well-growing business in the USA," Wühr said in an interview with the
Süddeutsche Zeitung
.

In the course of 2022, the vehicle fleet is to be increased to around 25,000 vehicles and the subscription model is to be available in eight US states.
Until then, Wuhr wants to relocate the center of his life.
Nevertheless: "Munich is the city where I want to grow old."
The 27-year-old could certainly also have inspiring conversations with a young woman from Regensburg.
Katharina Kreutzer also made it onto the Forbes list.
The 23-year-old produces mailing bags from recycled plastics together with business partners - and wants to be a "role model for young women".
