Background
Nikita Fahrenholz (*1984) is a serial entrepreneur and founder of Delivery Hero, Book A Tiger, Actio and Fahrengold.
He grew up in Hellersdorf, Berlin, studied business administration and spent time at McKinsey before starting is entrepreneurial career.
Nikita loves cars and dogs, owns a speedboat, and turns up for track days at Bilster Berg or Nürburgring. Usually behind the wheel of a fast car. He lives with his wife in Berlin Mitte.
Why Fahrengold
Nikita Fahrenholz knows the luxury car market from his own experience, and he spotted a gap there that bothered him personally. "I simply noticed that there are no beautiful garages on the market." Being a Fahrengold founder means, for him, raising garages, staging, and security to the same level as the car itself. Production runs out of a workshop in Marzahn, Berlin, and customers today include buyers in Miami and Dubai, with Bugatti as the company's most important partner. The flagship model, the FG-01, is priced between €75,000 and €120,000 net depending on configuration. In autumn 2024, the family office Skybrain and IBB Capital invested a seven-figure sum to help the company reach break-even. For Nikita Fahrenholz, Fahrengold is a passion project and his comeback venture, run as his own company rather than a pure investment.
