Who we are

We are digital experts and entrepreneurs and support companies in their digital lifecycle and digitalisation projects. We manage business growth from „old business to digital“ or from "good to great". Further, we help raising funds, support commercial due diligence and take on advisory roles and board mandates. Moreover, we always act “hands-on” and on equal footing with the management team and shareholders.

Experience from digital entrepreneurs

  • We support companies in their digital lifecycle and digitalization projects
  • We manage business growth from „old business to digital“ or from "good to great"
  • Further, we help raising funds, support commercial due diligence and take on advisory roles and board mandates
  • We always act “hands-on” and on equal footing with the management team and shareholders

Our approach is to support management teams in their growth initiatives and projects over the long term and to help them achieve their business goals through the implementation of innovative digital strategies.

Our services are based on 3 pillars

  • Vision and strategy
  • Business growth and scaling
  • Fundraising and M&A

Many companies are not exploiting the potential of digitalization today. Start-ups as well as mid-sized companies need digital competence and managers with in-depth digital experience. This is where we start. Thanks to our many years of experience with leading Internet companies in Germany, we support companies in developing future scoped digital product and marketing strategies.

In addition, we finance your growth by our bespoke fundraising services. Our services include all the necessary activities from the art of storytelling to the preparation of the term sheet which finally leads to your successful funding round.

Your benefits

We act as entrepreneurs and bring your digital initiatives and projects to their destination faster and better. You benefit from our many years of experience in the Internet economy, from our network and our pragmatic approach. But also from our passion to make the world a little better every day through digitization. At the heart of our value proposition stand 3 programs: Go-Digital, Growth and Investor-Ready.

The term digitalization is broad and the understanding ranges from a digital strategy to digital platforms and digital marketing to the digitization of business processes, IoT and digital transformation. Our focus is clearly on the areas of strategy, marketing, product and sales.

Central questions can be

  • How do I get from the idea to implementation faster?
  • How can I avoid mistakes right from the start?
  • How can I grow with my business idea?
  • How do I get from “good to great”?
  • How can I benefit from the many years of experience of experts?

About us 

Why us? 

There are a large number of service providers and agencies in the digital sector. They often lack in-depth experience in e-business and primarily sell their services in a standardized way, or rather are forced to sell their team capacities. However, many companies on the market have specific needs and must first be “understood” very precisely before a digital strategy can be developed. This is where we come in with our many years of experience.
