Quick take

We trade tech anxiety for aha moments—one plain-language insight at a time.

Why Vastkind exists

Technology is moving faster than most people can comfortably track. And when the headlines swing between hype and doom, it gets harder to answer the only question that matters:

What does this mean for my actual life?

Vastkind exists to close that gap. We strip away jargon, keep the nuance, and explain what’s real—so you can meet the future with clarity instead of stress.

Our mission:
Make frontier technology understandable, honest, and useful. We translate breakthroughs into everyday impact—how they’ll shape your health, work, family, and time.

Our stance: optimistic by default, reality-checked always.

Our vision

A world where more people can engage with innovation without feeling overwhelmed—or manipulated. Because understanding AI, robotics, biotech, quantum, and energy isn’t a “nice to have.”

It’s how we make smarter personal choices and better collective ones.

Our focus areas—and why these

We focus on technologies with direct, positive impact potential—from lifesaving therapies to everyday convenience.

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): Practical gains in work, creativity, and personal health.
  • Longevity & Biotech: From wearables to gene science—living healthier for longer.
  • Robotics: Useful autonomy at home, in industry, and everywhere in between.
  • Quantum Computing: Real-world wins in chemistry, security, and materials—translated into human terms.
  • Energy Innovations: Solar, wind, advanced batteries, fusion, and beyond—cleaner power, better living.
  • Future of Mobility: Autonomy, new propulsion, and space—safer, smoother, more ambitious movement.

Our values (the line we won’t cross)

Honesty & Clarity
Facts over buzzwords. We’re transparent about what’s proven vs. what’s still emerging.

Impact & Relevance
We don’t write to sound smart. We write to make the reader smarter—and more confident.

Optimism with Spine
Hopeful, not naive. Curious, not gullible. Solutions first, tough questions when needed.

Education & Empowerment
If your grandma can’t follow it, we rewrite it.

Meet the founders

Vastkind isn’t a personal brand. It’s a shared belief: the future should be understandable—and usable—for everyone.

Dorian — Founder (Hamburg, Germany)

Dorian is a marketing and e-commerce professional, currently a COO in the toy industry, and a dad of three. He’s the kind of person who hears a complex idea and immediately asks, “Okay, but how does this help someone on a Tuesday?”
He’s future-focused for a simple reason: his kids will live in it.

Jan — Co-founder (San Francisco, USA)

Jan is a veteran web designer and tech entrepreneur—UX-obsessed in the best way—and a dad of two. He builds calm, welcoming experiences that make learning feel effortless, not intimidating.
If Vastkind feels easy to navigate, that’s not an accident. That’s the point.

Two continents, one rhythm: Europe × Silicon Valley. Design × strategy. Startups × enterprise. Different vantage points, same goal: make the future clear—and genuinely helpful.

Our story

We grew up on Star Trek, graduated into startups and product launches, and watched sci-fi turn into Tuesday. Over time, we noticed a pattern: the biggest breakthroughs rarely come with clear explanations for everyday people.

So on July 1, 2025, we built Vastkind. A place where big ideas meet plain language and practical relevance, with a hopeful tone grounded in reality.

The invitation

Curious how AI might reshape your job? What a biotech breakthrough could mean for your family? Which energy shift might lower your bills—and your blood pressure?

You’re in the right place.

Join us at the frontier. The future is arriving fast. Let’s meet it prepared—with knowledge, optimism, and that hint of Star Trek wonder.
