Moritz Holländer hat dies geteilt€100,000 for three hires 🎯 Almedia is looking for 3 Senior Venture Leads. People who get to the core of problems quickly, have a track record of building, and take ownership from ambiguity to outcome. And we’re giving LinkedIn 60 days to find them. The referral bounty increases with every hire: Hire #1 → €20,000 Hire #2 → €30,000 Hire #3 → €50,000 Why would we do this? We built Almedia with small teams and by giving exceptional people unusually large projects. We’d rather spend €100,000 finding three exceptional people than compromise on who we build with. Know the right person? Nominate them in the comments or at referrals@almedia.co. If we hire them, you get the bounty that’s live at that moment. *Only 1 referral per person. If the same person is nominated more than once, the first valid submission counts. Referrals must be submitted during the 60-day campaign.

Moritz Holländer hat darauf reagiertMoritz Holländer hat darauf reagiertCrazy: Typ ist 24, hat also vor 5 Jahren Abi gemacht und heute eine App, die eine Milliarde Umsatz generiert. Deutsche Firma. Keine Investoren. 👀 Moritz Holländer heißt er. Abi 2019 und danach Freecash aufgebaut. Die App bezahlt Menschen dafür, Smartphone-Spiele zu spielen. Die Spielefirmen bezahlen dafür, neue Nutzer zu gewinnen. Im vergangenen Jahr lag der Umsatz von Almedia bei rund 300 Millionen Euro, 2026 müsste es eine Milliarde werden. 170 Mitarbeiter, mehr als eine Million Euro Werbebudget pro Tag und Dieter Bohlen als Testimonial. Wie ist das passiert? Wie war es als Apple und Google Freecash aus ihren App-Stores geworfen haben und warum? Wieviel Geld bleibt übrig? Wo will er hin? Wie hat sich sein Leben verändert? Warum würde er vielleicht jetzt Investoren aufnehmen? Schon noch was möglich in Europa… Pod mit Moritz Holländer jetzt live: https://lnkd.in/ddyz-i_C

Moritz Holländer hat dies repostetMoritz Holländer hat dies repostet€50,000 for introducing us to our next VP of Engineering ��� We are looking for a VP of Engineering at Almedia / Freecash. If you refer the person we hire, we’ll pay you €50,000. Here's the person we have in mind: an engineering leader who never stopped being an engineer, who's already rebuilt how a team ships around AI, and who wants real ownership. What we're actually building is a new category. Rewards. A layer that sits on top of everything and gives people something back. We're profitable, bootstrapped, 80M+ users, $400M+ paid out to them, and growing faster than almost anyone in Europe. The bet is that in ten years we're the company that made rewards a category of its own. If someone truly exceptional comes to mind, send them our way. Personal referrals only, no agencies. Tag them or introduce us directly. Link to apply in the comments.

Moritz Holländer hat dies geteiltWe hosted our first-ever Almedia Summit last week at our Berlin HQ! We flew in ~100 clients and partners, representing $10B+ in combined yearly revenue, and spent the day discussing our vision for how we continue growing as the leader in rewarded and building even stronger relationships. Huge thanks to everyone who made the trip, to our partners, and to the whole Almedia team for making it happen! 🚀 ��

Moritz Holländer hat dies geteiltSo happy to share this. It’s been a tough few weeks and has taken an amazing team effort to get here. 🙏 Massive thanks to everyone who worked those late nights on this and for all the support from our partners and community. We are meanwhile continuing to work with Apple on the iOS reinstatement.Moritz Holländer hat dies geteiltFreecash is back on the Google Play Store! Following a thorough review, Google has reinstated our Android app. We want to thank our advertisers, partners, and 70 million users for their patience and support during this period.

Moritz Holländer hat dies geteiltWe wanted to give an update about our situation since many of our users and partners have been reaching out in the past few days. As many of you are aware, our iOS and Android apps were removed this week from the App Store and Google Play following media coverage that contained a number of inaccurate and misleading claims about our business. We have been working very hard in the last years to build a company that lasts and we are actively working with both Apple and Google to resolve this as we see them as key partners for further growth. I am very grateful for all of the support and encouragement we have received from our partners and the industry. Please find my full statement with all of the details here: https://lnkd.in/d9xTV4TZ

Moritz Holländer hat dies geteiltOur iOS app was removed yesterday without any upfront notice **What we built:** Freecash is an app where users play games and earn real rewards. Our iOS App grew by 12 million new users in 2026 alone, hit top 2 in the US App Store charts for multiple weeks. Advertisers, including many of the world's top gaming studios, rely on us to engage their users. We pay out over $1M to our users every single day, our iOS App has a rating of 4.7 stars from 150k+ reviews. Both users and partners were happy. **The Backstory:** Rewarded apps have had a complicated relationship with Apple, not because anything was wrong with them, but because Apple's guidelines struggled to keep up. For that reason, apps in our category faced removals, including Freecash in the past. Over the last two years, rewarded UA went mainstream. Apps like Freecash became a core part of the user acquisition strategy for the biggest mobile games in the world, attracting millions of users, delivering real results for advertisers, and making it impossible to ignore that this was now a major pillar of the mobile ecosystem. Apple took notice. About a year ago, they updated their guidelines to reflect what the category had actually become. Since then, we have scaled up exponentially: this year alone, we have invested heavily and spent more than $100M on user acquisition across DSPs, TV, and social with the goal to grow our platform. We and the whole industry finally felt safe, so it came across surprising and frustrating that our app was just removed again without proper explanation or heads up. **Moving forward:** We are appealing via the official route to get our app back as soon as possible and working together with Apple to continue serving our users and partners. Beyond getting our app back, we want to work together with Apple to solve this permanently: for us and for the entire industry. The risk of unexpected removals creates uncertainty for everyone involved. We are here to build a long-lasting business and see Apple as a key partner in that. If you have any contact or advice, please reach out. Your help is highly appreciated!

Moritz Holländer gefällt dasMoritz Holländer gefällt das88% of VC-backed founders get nothing at exit. Imagine taking little or no salary at the start, working your ass off for years, neglecting hobbies, friends and family, often even taking major personal risks because you believe in what you’re building. And after all that, getting nothing for your shares. That’s the case for 9 out of 10 venture backed founders. Knowing those odds, I really struggle with how we treat entrepreneurs in Germany. Fail and you’re an idiot and you are being shamed. Succeed and you’re greedy and you are being attacked. How is that supposed to encourage more people to try? We should celebrate people willing to take that risk. Give them another chance when it goes wrong. And be happy for them when it works, including when they make a lot of money. That’s the culture I want us to build at The Delta and with BAD1. We need more people willing to put years of their lives into building something. Making them feel like shit whichever way it goes is a pretty stupid way to get there.

Moritz Holländer gefällt dasMoritz Holländer gefällt dasI am so lucky to spend my life building something I love. I hope everyone finds something they care about that much. Something that keeps you curious. Something that pushes you to your limits. Something that may put you at odds with the status quo. Something worth the hard days. For me, it’s still markets. The more I learn, the more I want to understand.

Moritz Holländer hat darauf reagiertMoritz Holländer hat darauf reagiertPretty cool one to end October with: Almedia is the #1 rewarded platform in global iOS gaming in the AppsFlyer Performance Index 2026 🚀 What I like about it: this year's ranking also looks at how much advertisers grow their spend with a partner. So it basically shows where UA teams decide to double down, and right now a lot of them are doing that with us. 21 placements across iOS and Android, 17 of them in the top 10. Still a few spots left to go after next year 😉

Moritz Holländer gefällt dasMoritz Holländer gefällt dasWelcome to issue one of Built at Almedia. In this series, we explore and celebrate the great things our team members have built. Our Art Director Wjatscheslaw Sperling had a problem: he wanted one place to find every ad creative and see how it performed. Digital Asset Management tools were expensive, and couldn't link creative to results, so he built his own. Now, 50 colleagues use it every day. “I’m a designer, not an engineer, and I was able to build this.” Got a great idea? Build something with us: almedia.co/careers

Moritz Holländer hat darauf reagiertMoritz Holländer hat darauf reagiertMoritz Holländer and I hosted a dinner on Saturday with some of Berlins best founders. Here are my main takeaways: We had Din Bisevac (Buena), Artjem Weissbeck (microagi), Viktor von Essen, M.Jur. (Oxford) (Libra), Constantin Schröder (Arbio), Jens Urbaniak (Dr. Smile), Lukas Zörner (Integral), Tim Winter (Stealth), Arne Gebert (Kombo), Daniel Drabo (Peec AI) and Dorian Gorr (LVL). Everyone was very optimistic about the future of their company. Everyone who had gone through an exit wanted to build again or had already started something new. The general sentiment was that you can make anything work from Berlin if you do it well. Yes, there are lots of problems and things we should change. No, our notary system will not stop you from building a billion-dollar company. What seemed to annoy the group the most were notice periods and working-hour regulations. Thank you for the amazing food & drinks Berlin Cuisine, Nina Jensen, Max Jensen 😍

Moritz Holländer gefällt dasMoritz Holländer gefällt dasIt’s the end of my job as I know it. Almedia just launched self-serve game campaigns. Three steps: 1. Enter your store ID 2. Set up MMP tracking (we walk you through it) 3. Pick your geos and daily caps That’s it. Our algorithm builds your iOS and Android reward structures and puts your game in front of 95M+ registered Freecash users. Watch the walkthrough below. Full rundown here: https://lnkd.in/djiQMzuQ Which means I get more time for what I like most: talking to UA teams about how rewards can help them grow, and making rewarded the biggest part of their marketing mix. So yeah, I feel fine.
