„In 2025, investors demand solid systems, clear metrics, and sustainable growth – with high capital efficiency, not just hype.“
Funding got you off the ground
…but you’re not taking off yet.

Early traction was there — but revenue has plateaued. Shareholders grow impatient.

Bernd – Your wingman
I’ve been where you are and I know the pressure first-hand
I was the first sales engineer in a deep-tech startup. From scratch, I built and led the commercial team, scaling revenue from €1M to over €10M ARR – all the way to exit.
Now I stand beside founders like you, turning shareholder pressure into trust and messy sales into a clear playbook.
Outside of work, you’ll find me kayaking, on live-events, or deep in a strategy board game – because scaling a startup takes stamina, strategy, and smart moves.
Your wingman in growth – so you can stay focused
on leading the mission.
Don’t take my word for it

Vision and Mission
Scaling climate tech, winning board games
A world where startups drive the transition to a net-zero economy — turning innovation into both growth and real
CO₂ reduction.
I help SaaS and tech-enabled hardware founders build repeatable sales, win enterprise clients, and scale sustainably.
Together with the startups I support, we aim to cut CO₂ emissions equal to the annual footprint of 1 million Europeans — accelerating the shift to a net-zero economy. (7.8t CO₂ per inhabitant and year)
And I strive to keep my board game win rate above 50%
