Strategic Support for Venturing

Corporate venturing is not the only way for large organisations to foster intrapreneurship and enable innovation. Find out more on venture support below 

Founder Coaching & Mentoring

Founders often feel left alone. Getting support from an experienced serial founder is unvaluable at such moments. My aim is to provide my personal support when you need it the most.

Startup Workshops & Events

Accelerators and incubators need to provide value to their startups to be able to gain value themselves. Being a service provider I support with workshops & events in the field of entrepreneurship.

Corporate Entrepreneurship and Startup Collaboration

Corporate venturing is only one way to enable the innovative power of startups for corporate entities and large organisations.

During the last years I've had the opportunity of guiding many large organisations in enabling the innovative power of startups and ventures for their organisations. I have build accelerator and incubator programs, have setup investment entities and founded spin-offs. I have organised hacktons, hosted events and set up summer schools. In my experience, the key to enable corporate startup collaboration is to start by finding a broader fundament for such initiatives within the organisations. Are you curious why? Or do you want to know how to achieve this acceptance?

Workshops & Content for Accelerators, Incubators & Support Programs

Accelerators, incubators and other startup support programs or events face the difficulty of providing high level support that still is hands on. It is hard to find support with entrepreneurial experience that is able to tailor solid basic methodologies to the needs of startups and founders. Based on my experience as a serial entrepreneur and with the scientific background from three academic business studies, I offer proprietary methodologies that combine entrepreneurial theory with founder practice.

Million Dollar Pitching

Pitching by following tips & tricks will hardly make you stand out of the masses. But you don't have to be a borne show master to rock a stage.

Based on the experience with thousands of pitches, this methodology focusses on enabling genuine founder stories rather then filling 10-slide Powerpoint templates. Three fundamentals, 5 basic rules and a pitch design template set helps building and improving pitch skills for life!

Workshop (online)

Intro to Growth Hacking

The possibilities of performance marketing can overwhelm any founder quite quickly. Finding a structured way through the offerings of all tools and platforms enables founders to focus on what's most important: their startup's exponential growth.

This workshop, unlike many other growth hacking offerings, helps founders hack their way to sustainable growth.

Workshop (on-&offline)

Cross Border Scaling

Despite the unification of Europe, the internal market ist still scattered. And when a startup's next market is outside the EU the need to develop a proper expansion strategy is even stronger.

This Workshop focusses on When, Where and How to go international. The market selection methodology allows to pick markets based on solid decision making rather then hints. A focus on structured planning prevents founders from going where short term money is.

Academy (offline)

Fundraising for Startups & Ventures

Acquiring investments is hard. When it comes to investments founder's learning curves are either long and flat or expensive.

In different formats from workshop to entire academies I shorten the learning curve to a couple of days by providing a through understanding of startup investments, hands on setup of the next funding round and direct access to my european investors network.

Mentoring (1o1 or Group)

Single or Multiple Sessions

Many inputs from accelerator or incubator programs never get implemented. Wasted efforts! Implementing inputs mostly is about finding an easy way to start. Discussing and exchanging with a mentor, who can relate from own experiences provides the necessary push forward.

Based on experiences from many startups and over 100 mentorships, I offer single sessions as well as long term guidance, for single founders & startups as well as entire batches.

Custom Support

Tailored to your needs

Program management of accelerators and incubators is a bridge between stakeholder management and educational operations. Building this bridge needs experience and insights into every role.

During my career  I had the opportunity to be in nearly every role within the stakeholder map, from startup founder to corporate innovation manager and from investment manager to accelerator program manager. Therefore I can be the sparring partner for the program management as well as the host of stakeholder strategy management and anything in between. 

Event Contribution

Notes & Key notes

Startup and innovation events need to inspire.

My features on the larger startup-event stages in Europe taught me how to inspire groups as well as crowds. I offer keynotes and contributions on topics like:

  • pitching & fundraising

  • startup & founder failure

  • entrepreneurship & effectuation

  • custom innovation related topics

Event Contribution

Organisation or Hosting

Events can trigger movements. However as innovation often results in organisational change, triggering change is not enough. The future of business depends on social interaction, so relationships are key.

In different formats from congress to hackathon and from strategy workshop to in-house fair I focus on enabling sustainable initiatives and lasting relationships.

Founder Support based on Serial Experiences

Founders get a lot of advise. Advise they didn't even asked for, loaded with creativity, or from a consumers perspective. What founders really need is support that solves problems, saves time or returns money. That's what I have in mind in my mentorings and coachings.

01

Long Term Mentoring

For many well known startup support organisations across Europe I offer long term guidance of their teams. These mentoring are mostly focussed on one or more of the following topics:

  • external business development

  • internal organisational developement

  • fundraising

  • other business related topics

Let me know how I can help you!

03

Investment Fundraising

Especially in fundraising I offer a series of support activities, from single session coaching to long term mentoring and even fall academies. Have a look at the feature site for more info!

02

Single Session Coaching

Sometimes all it needs is a different point of view. This is what I provide in single sessions: My view on a problem or business related topic. We discuss your situation, which, due to my experience with many ventures, I can mostly very well relate to. Together, we work on solutions that make you move forward one step at a time.

04

Pitching

On pitching I offer my own founder focussed methodology, published in my book called "1M$ Pitching". Based on the methodology I offer a series of support activities. Have a look at the feature site for more info!

Million Dollar Pitching

With any topic founders try to use sophisticated methodologies to grow their business. No matter if Design Thinking, Business Model Canvas or any other methodology from a founder's toolset.

Except with pitching we rely on a downloaded template and the tips and tricks of an "expert" who has mostly never been on a stage.

With "1M$ Pitching" I set an end to that. The Million Dollar Pitching methodology is developed with the insights in thousands of pitched and my own pitching experience. It provides a proven methodology for pitch development and continuous improvement of pitching skills. 

"Any idea is worthless if you can't sell it."
