    Born 1974 in St. Gallen,[4] Osterwalder obtained his MA in
    Political Science in 2000 at the University of Lausanne, where in
    2004 he also obtained his PhD in Management Information
    Systems[5] under Yves Pigneur with the thesis, entitled "The
    Business Model Ontology - a proposition in a design science
    approach." Alexander Osterwalder at the

    In 1999 Osterwalder co-founded his first startup Netfinance.ch,
    conference
    which focused on financial literacy. He was a journalist for the
    Swiss business magazine BILANZ in 2000–01, and Senior
    Research Fellow back at the University of Lausanne from 2000 to 2005 in the time he finished his PhD
