I help entrepreneurs grow their business by establishing finance and operations processes, fueling the sales funnel and shaping strategic operational decisions. I develop new business and product ideas, research them & write pitch decks. Previously, I held sales and M&A positions at Goldman Sachs and SunPower Corp (solar industry) and am trained in valuation, due diligence and financial modeling.
What I offer
Looking for a venture partner for a stealth clean cosmetic idea
I ran a research project on a specific cosmetic category and identified significant problems and health concerns within this category. I am now looking for a venture partner/co-founder to launch this D2C e-commerce venture. Ideally someone with strong marketing skills.
Bringing an innovative alcohol-free drink to market
I developed an innovative adult beverage formula with 0% vol. alcohol and am looking for beverage industry experts or advisors, voluntary testers, co-manufacturers and retail partners in Germany. The idea is to launch it in Germany at first and then expand internationally.
I analyze real estate investment proposals by setting up a cash flow model, calculating potential returns, analyzing the legal rental laws in Germany and any other legal matters. I also coordinate all deal related matters with the realtor, lender and the buyer. Focusing mainly on Berlin.
I am skilled with spreadsheets and can setup financial models for your business, assess your company’s valuation and help you with anything needed to quantify your business value. My deliverables include income statements, cash flow statements, balance sheets, sources and uses of cash and charts.
I raised a debt facility of $200 MM for the construction of a 100 MW solar power plant and afterwards sold the asset to the infrastructure investor Actis.
I participated in the startup accelerator Grace and won the 3rd price on the Pitch Demo Day. After pitching the business concept to a large audience, including investors, my team got an offer for a €500k pre-seed investment.
