Entrepreneur · Software Generalist · AI Expert
I build software companies — and Turbofy, the platform that makes every company build like one.
20+ years in software. Three startups founded. Today my focus is Turbofy® — the AI-native app platform where every team turns ideas into working systems instantly. It is everything I have learned about building software, distilled into a product any organization can use to become AI-native.

ABOUT
Jens Dressler is an entrepreneur and software generalist with more than 20 years of professional experience. Today he and his team build Turbofy®, the AI-native app platform that lets every team build as fast as they can think — no servers, no setup, no code.
He has lived every side of building technology companies: writing the first line of code, raising angel rounds, scaling a product to a million users, selling a company, and leading engineering as CTO. That combination — operator, engineer and founder in one — shapes every platform he builds and every team he works with.
His focus is AI-native organizations: companies where software is built as fast as it is imagined, and where every team — not just engineering — turns ideas into working systems. Turbofy is how he gets them there.
Founded and co-founded three startups. Took Vamos from first commit to one million users and an acquisition by Fanmiles. Knows what it takes to build, fund, scale — and sell.
20+ years hands-on: mobile apps, GraphQL APIs, cloud automation on AWS, and engineering leadership as CTO. A generalist by conviction — the full stack is the comfort zone.
Builds Turbofy®, the AI-native app platform, and helps organizations reshape how they ship software around GenAI and coding agents — from strategy to the first working system.
