Thylmann is married with two children, and he started computer programming when he was 17. His breakthrough came in the late 1990s when he developed software called NATS (Next-generation Affiliate Tracking Software), which enabled website operators to track users clicks on advertisements and links so that they could be paid commission. Thylmann used the money he made with NATS to buy various companies in the adult industry, and in March 2010 he established Manwin by acquiring the companies Mensef and Interhub.
