Gruber received a Master's degree in management from the University of St. Gallen (HSG) in 1995. Staying at HSG, he wrote a PhD thesis on "Erfolgsfaktoren des Wirtschaftens von KMU im Zeitablauf: dargestellt an Beispielen aus der deutschen Nahrungs- und Genussmittelindustrie" (Success factors of SMEs over time: illustrated by examples from the German food and luxury food industry) and graduated in 2000.[2] He then joined the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) as a senior researcher and lecturer, to work with Dietmar Harhoff and Manfred Schwaiger.[3] He obtained his habilitation from LMU's School of Management in 2005 for his book "Marketingplanung von wagniskapitalfinanzierten Unternehmensgründungen – eine theoretische und empirische Analyse" (Marketing planning of venture capital-financed start-ups - a theoretical and empirical analysis).[4] During that time he held the position as vice-director of the Institute of Innovation Research, Technology Management and Entrepreneurship and established LMU’s Center for Entrepreneurship. He has held several visiting scholar posts at the Wharton School (2004), and at the University of Pennsylvania (1999 and 2004). He was also a visiting professor at the Business School of Imperial College London (2015-2018).[5]
In 2005, Gruber joined EPFL to work on the Chair of Entrepreneurship and Technology Commercialization (ENTC) first as an assistant professor and was promoted to associate professor in 2008.[6] Since 2011, Gruber is a full professor at EPFL's College of Management of Technology.[1] From 2017 to 2020, he was Vice President for Innovation at EPFL.[7][8]

The tool is used worldwide by more than 50,000 companies and has been adopted as the 4th tool in the lean start-up tool-set.[10][11]
