The short version

I started in real estate - valuation, development, leasing for one of Europe's biggest mall operators. Good career, but I kept building side projects in my spare time.

In 2019, I made the jump. Bootcamp, then startups. I was on the core team at Parloa, joining at pre-seed and staying through multiple funding rounds. They're now valued at ~$3B. I've seen what works and what compounds across funding stages.

In 2023, I joined Antler's Berlin cohort (top 4% acceptance). Built Visuo, an AI data analytics platform. Raised pre-seed, got revenue, wore every hat from engineering to sales.

Now I help other founders move faster across the parts that compound. Build the right way. Use AI properly. Own their tech instead of renting it.
