People at our company
Dr. Björn Pospiech
Founder & Managing Director of Pranado gGmbH
Health researcher, martial arts grandmaster & social entrepreneur
Under my motto ‘Do for Life’, I want to help people build a positive, confident and self-determined life path. For me, ‘Do’ has two meanings:
- Do – As part of East Asian philosophy, Do integrates physical, mental, social, spiritual and mindful elements into a holistic approach.
- Do for Life – Find something that enriches and accompanies you throughout your life.
For me, change always begins with working on one's own mindset and takes into account a physical, mental, social, spiritual and mindful growth process, which I consider and consciously promote in all my activities. Humans have evolved in such a way that physical movement forms the basis of our existence. Movement and physical health can result in mental, psychological and spiritual growth, which unlocks the full potential of every human being and leads to undreamt-of possibilities and abilities.
Acting in a socially responsible manner
I understand social entrepreneurship as the art of combining social challenges with entrepreneurial thinking and a human approach. For me, it's not about growth at any price, but about meaningful impact – in harmony with what empowers people.
For many years, I have been developing projects that promote social participation, education, exercise and personal development – often in areas where traditional structures reach their limits. With initiatives such as DOPDA, Power Holidays and Raum fürs Ankommen, I am committed to helping young people, families and disadvantaged groups – in a practical, participatory way and with a deep belief in human potential.
In addition to project work, I am actively involved in promoting social entrepreneurial ideas. In formats such as hackathons, innovation labs and incubators, I support founders in sharpening their visions, building structures and consciously shaping their impact. My focus is on human-centred entrepreneurship – based on mindfulness, responsibility and inner clarity.
As a social entrepreneur, I operate at the intersection of education, health, culture and personal development. I accompany change not only in organisations, but also in people – through movement, relationships and conscious design.
