In the “Homescreen!” series, we regularly present the homescreens of people from the social media, marketing, media and tech industries – including app recommendations and tips for everything from to-do lists to small games for in-between times . Today: Jasper Roll, Managing Director of Haufe Group Ventures GmbH.
Jasper Roll: I use my smartphone mainly for two things: to communicate and to organize both my professional and private life. I want to keep everything in view as much as possible, which is why I have grouped most of my apps into categories.
Japser Roll relies on efficient communication and “Inbox Zero”
My smartphone helps me to be reachable and to answer messages on the same day if possible. Depending on the urgency, you can reach me via different apps: at short notice by telephone, via Whatsapp (for Android) for quick exchange, in teams for medium-term, internal topics and by email for structured exchange.
My daily to-do is to process all new emails and clean up my inbox. This doesn’t always work, but it’s my goal: Inbox Zero – no more open emails at the end of the day.
Attio for maintaining relationships with start-ups
I want to shape the future of the world of work in close collaboration with innovative B2B startups. As managing director of the corporate VC and venture studio Haufe Group Ventures, it is particularly important for me to keep an eye on communication with different founders. That’s what I use the app for Attio (for Android).
It helps me and my team to communicate efficiently and quickly, to track email flows and to have easy access to all important topics. This allows us to work with the founders the way I think entrepreneurship should be: honest and transparent, so that no castles in the air can arise.

LinkedIn – the number 1 social media platform for Jasper Roll
LinkedIn (for Android) is my favorite social network. I spend significantly more time here than on Instagram, for example. As soon as I get to know a new person in a business context, I network with them – whether they are a founder, potential business partner or other professional.
I also make new contacts with exciting start-ups directly via LinkedIn. At the same time, the platform is the gateway to exciting news, startup deals and innovations for me, which is why I use the app almost every day.
Nothing works without my calendar app
My calendar is indispensable for me because I am often fully booked. It is often packed with appointments such as one-on-ones, board meetings or events and helps me to exchange ideas with other corporates, get to know startups, support them and use my network. It also includes travel plans – so I can make sure I’m always in the right place at the right time and don’t forget anything.
I decide when I can be reached. I specifically use a work profile: You can see whether it is switched on or off by looking at the suitcase icon on my email program. I only receive notifications about work emails and can access them when it is switched on. This helps me maintain focus and use my smartphone more consciously during quality time with my family. For me, work is also part of my private life – but I decide when and where.
Speaking of private life: food, games and sports are also included
I really enjoy cooking in my free time and get inspiration from it Chef app (for Android). When I want to be somewhere else entirely, I sometimes play games on my smartphone – currently the trading card game Hearthstone (for Android).
I’m also looking forward to the Bundesliga starting again soon and then being able to go to the club with friends Kickbase app (for Android) can compete for the best managerial qualities. I organize my great sports passion in “real” life, handball, through this PlayerPlus app (for Android), which helps our team with training planning.
