Dr. Georg Kofler startet his media career in 1985 at the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF). Two years later Kofler moved to the KirchGruppe. In 1989, Kofler started the TV Channel ProSieben, which he developed into ProSieben Media AG, followed by the first major IPO of a German media company in 1997. Kofler was the first to introduce teleshopping to the German market, from 2000 to 2002 as CEO and major shareholder of H.O.T. Networks AG, which developed teleshopping throughout Europe. In 2002, Kofler took over the management of pay TV company Premiere, which was on the verge of insolvency. Kofler restructured Premiere, acquired 20 percent of the company himself and successfully floated Premiere on the stock exchange in 2005. He left the television industry in 2007 and invested in various companies, including in the field of energy efficiency and technology. The new developments in social media brought Kofler back into media in 2016: He has been the anchor shareholder and Chairman of Social Chain AG, which was founded through a merger between The Social Chain Group AG and Lumaland AG at the end of October 2019. He has been a panel member and investor at the popular TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen" (German version of the UK show “Dragons’ Den”) since 2017.
