Start-Up Mentoring
Advising start-up founders and their teams: business model, investor negotiations, collaborations.
Get your headstart!I advise start-up founders and their managing team as an independent advisor and as a mentor in various acceleration programs.
Fields of expertise:
- Value Proposition: Which challenges are you solving that someone else is willing to sacrifice (e.g. to pay) for?
- Business Model: Which vehicles do you utilize to earn money - today, tomorrow and in X months from now?
- Competitive Advantage: What is your unfair advantage, that is valuable, rare, and costly to imitate by existing and potential competitors which you are also the best team to exploit?
- Collaborations: You can’t do everything on your own along your value chain! Who are you partnering with and how do all sides benefit from this partnership?
- Investor Negotiations: Ready to go fundraising? Investments are a lot more than just the exchange of money for shares/equity. Compile your pitch deck, data room documents, and especially an individualized ask/offering for the investor incl. possible valuable side agreements.
On a limited base, I temporarily join promising start-up teams as interim CTO to align the digital/tech strategy to the overall goals and bring your digital product idea from zero to proof of concept or even MVP.
Start-ups with first traction benefit from my advisory and network as a mid to long-term advisory board member (usually compensated with shares/ESOPS).
