At 17 I started selling products online. That turned into a limited company that now runs day to day largely without me.

As an apprentice mediamatician I learned design, IT, marketing and administration. Alongside, One Horizon grew: in 2022, aged 19 and still an apprentice, I registered my sole proprietorship «Abgottspon Neo Horizon» in the commercial register (UID CHE-219.371.310). The limited company followed in 2023, the registered trademark in 2024.

I handed over the operations step by step. An external IT team looks after IT and interfaces, external partners handle most of the shipping, and marketing is mostly done by AI, supported by freelancers. I stay on strategy and the product range.

I have been developing apps since 2019. Four are on the App Store today, including GymTracker and Paperkeep, with Odira and Onsita next. Each of them solves a problem I had myself.

Until the end of November 2026 I am employed at Valmonas Analytik AG in Steg, in customer communication, as the person responsible for IT and in marketing. I work with AI every day and see it as a tool no job should do without.

  1. My first apps

    Aged 16, App Store

    Two party games, built myself and published on the App Store. The start of everything that followed.

  2. Apprenticeship as a mediamatician

    Vocational school, Visp

    Four years of training across design, IT, marketing and administration. The first year in school, the rest inside companies.

  3. The first sales

    In my mother’s beauty salon

    For Christmas, the first products go on a shelf in the salon. They sell, and the experiment becomes One Horizon.

  4. Melando AG

    Gamsen, training company

    Second year of the apprenticeship at an online-shop startup for used media: content in the in-house CMS, orders and shipping, social media. The startup closed that business in 2022, so I moved to a new training company.

  5. Wohndesign Albrecht AG

    Visp, training company

    Training company until graduation. Brochures, business cards and flyers for Wohndesign and Zasaris, including a flyer mailed to 20,000 households in the Upper Valais. The reference letter: “The quality of his work was always outstanding.”

  6. My first company

    Sole proprietorship, aged 19

    Still an apprentice, I register my sole proprietorship in the commercial register. The side project becomes a business, bookkeeping included.

  7. Neo Horizon GmbH

    Founded in Raron

    In November 2023 the limited company takes over from the sole proprietorship. I hold all shares.

  8. Mediamatician, Swiss federal VET diploma (EFZ)

    Graduation

    Diploma after four years. The same year, the shop moves from Wix to WordPress and WooCommerce.

  9. One Horizon trademark

    Registration

    The name is registered. The range keeps growing, to around 40 carefully kept brands today.

  10. Travel and further training

    On the road

    A year for travel and courses: first aid IVR levels 1 to 3, company paramedic, and the A1 to A3 drone licence.

  11. Valmonas Analytik AG

    Steg, employed

    Customer communication, IT and marketing at an analytics lab, plus an internal web app to plan pool-water sampling.

  12. New apps

    App Store

    After GradeFlow and QuickSort Organizer come GymTracker and Paperkeep: four apps on the App Store. Odira and Onsita are in the works. Each app solves a problem I had myself.
