Famboogle was founded in 2006 by Boston inventor, entrepreneur and executive A. Lorenz. Mr. Lorenz is currently a General Manager at a distribution company in the Boston area, and serves on the Board of Directors at the Fulbright Academy for Science and Technology. Mr. Lorenz received an advanced degree from one of Germany’s ten largest Fachhochschulen in 1994, and was a Fulbright scholar at the University of Oklahoma in 1995. Mr. Lorenz developed the world’s first micro-processor controlled multi-shower pay system for Grohe AG, and invented an auto-sensing windshield wiper system, utilizing design principles later adopted by the automotive industry. The execution of Famboogle’s Value Proposition and technology platform has been made possible with the support of many of Lorenz’s professional and personal friends from different industries, all of whom with a keen sense for local communities, among them:
