Due to a racing accident, he gave up his hobby as a racing driver after his last season in the 2011 ADAC GT Masters.[1] Racing is what led him to begin investing in E-mobility.[2]

For its product “Wunderbar”, Relayr won the CODE n-Award in 2015.[3] Fritsch successfully managed to get Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to invest as well, who are well-known for their investments in Amazon and Google.[4] Relayr was then sold in 2018 to the German reinsurance company Munich RE for US$300 million.[5] Through his investment firm, Florian Fritsch also invested in the food delivery service Delivery Hero and the Austrian manufacturing company Kreisel Electric.[2][6]

Together with a Dubai-based investor, Murari Lal Jalan, Kalrock won the bid for Jet Airways, the formerly largest airline in India.[7] The Committee of Creditors approved the resolution plan of Jalan and Fritsch on October 17 2020. The plans for Jet Airways of the consortium include to regain lost slots, to expand the long-haul services, and modernizing the aircraft fleet.[8]

Fritsch is also a shareholder and the chairman of the supervisory board of GROPYUS, founded in 2019. GROPYUS‘ purpose is "affordable, smart, and sustainable buildings for everyone“.[9] The Family office of Florian Fritsch handles wealth management with over €1 billion.[2]

Philanthropy[edit]

He is a longtime sponsor of the British sprinter James Ellington, who, after a serious road accident in 2017 is contesting a third Olympics.[10] He is also a sponsor of the youth sports of the Austrian association football club SC Austria Lustenau. In March 2020, together with SC Austria Lustenau and the distillery Freihof, Fritsch initiated the collection of alcohol in order to produce disinfectant from it. The disinfectant was then donated to health care facilities in Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein.[11]
