Allegro Sprute
WHU Business Student - Passion for startups & entrepreneurship
Allegro Sprute is a young entrepreneur who noticed the challenges older generations face with modern technology at the age of 16, leading to the creation of a business model in 2017.
In 2018, Allegro won first place in a nationwide business plan competition by Startup Teens in the category of Social, competing against 2,500 other applicants.
This success earned Allegro a scholarship to the Founders Academy of the Founders Foundation in Bielefeld, where valuable knowledge and networks were established.
In early 2019, Allegro partnered with the J.C.C. Bruns Group to co-found Lerne Smart UG, a startup aimed at educating adults and seniors on mobile devices and digital services.
While Lerne Smart's operations are temporarily halted due to the pandemic, the team is actively developing a market concept for a nationwide launch in the future.
Highlights
Innovation is not about solo genius, it’s about collective genius. 🌱
Every now and then, we don’t agree on something in the team. And I think that is fantastic.
Agreeing on everything would mean we are missing out on diverse perspectives and opportunities to grow.
My not-so-unpopular opinion is that good communication is one of the most important skills in a startup team.
When we don’t agree, we sit down, discuss it, and either 1) find a quick solution everyone agrees on or 2) reach a compromise. 🤝
I can say, the decisions we make together after these discussions are always better than the original ideas we started with.
Every single time. ✅

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to take action." ❗️
I heard Blake Scholl, Founder of Boom Supersonic, say this in a Y Combinator live interview two years ago. It stuck with me ever since.
Many don’t get it. ❌ Fear is seen as a weakness, not a sign you're pushing limits.
This quote rings true because action, despite fear, is what drives progress. ✅
I felt fear when founding Cuinti, when launching our first product version, when talking to potential investors. I feel it every day when we make decisions that are filled with uncertainty. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
But I take action. Our team takes action.
Courage keeps us moving forward, pushing our limits. 🏎️
If you're not scared, you're not dreaming big enough. Embrace the fear. Let it fuel your action. That's where real growth happens. 🚀
