Matthaus was consulting for a mobile social network in Europe last year when he started getting excited about some of the software developments affecting the entire industry. He ran into Matt Marshall at a Berkeley event in April 2008, two weeks after he came over from Europe.
Matt wanted Matthäus to write a guest piece on mobile social networks, Matthäus wanted to get to know people in the Valley. Ever since Matthäus has been writing for Venturebeat every now and then. On top of that Matthäus helped Matt with the organisation of Mobilebeat 2008, particularly with the screening of the applying companies. Matthäus had prior journalistic experience as a freelancer for various radio stations and magazines. Prior to that Matthäus was a business unit leader at the t-shirt design competition company la Fraise and a product manager at Spreadshirt.
