He is the founder of the investment companies Mountain Partners AG and Conny & Co.

In 1998, Boersch completed his doctorate on "Mutual savings banks and Venture Capital" at the University of Essen. He later also served as an honorary professor there.
Cornelius Boersch is working as an entrepreneur in Germany since 1991. He already founded his first company "Sabeco GmbH" during his studies, which was the beginning of the German electronic health card, and from which the smart card broker and RFID manufacturer ACG AG developed in 1995. ACG AG was originally listed on the stock exchange segment Neuer Markt in Germany (NEMAX 50) in 1999 with a valuation of more than EUR 1 billion.
Boersch sold his shares in the company in March 2000 and since 2003, the former ACG AG belonged to the Assa Abloy Group, which became insolvent in 2008. After Boersch withdrew from the operational business of ACG AG, he worked as an investment manager in the field of venture capital and subsequently initiated the development of other RFID-based companies such as Smartrac (IPO 2006) and Identiv (NASDAQ since 2006).
Boersch’s focus lies mainly in investing in young Internet companies. As an active business angel, he has invested in more than 350 companies since 1995. He was able to sell more than 50 companies during this time, of which 14 went public.
