The insanely successful career of Rocket Internet cofounder Oliver Samwer

Rocket Internet is one of the most successful startup incubators in the world. It started off by creating versions of some of the biggest tech firms and most innovative startups, scaling them incredibly quickly in markets the originals weren't serving.

Its three founders, brothers Marc, Oliver and Alexander Samwer, wanted to found a company from a young age. They certainly succeeded. Rocket Internet's IPO last year saw their own company valued at €6.5 billion (around £4.6 billion, $8.2 billion)

Despite his insistence to the contrary, Oliver Samwer is seen as the driving force behind Rocket. Famously elusive, Samwer rarely speaks to the press, and has even walked out of interviews in the past.
