They say I'm a serial entrepreneur & mentor.
Me and my partners / best friends founded two companies which got luckily acquired.
Gentics (an Enterprise Content Management vendor by APA) and
Wikidocs (a real-time collaborative editing technology by Atlassian).
I'm an
enthusiastic triathlete 🚴, loving family father ❤️ and an advocate for lifelong learning 📚.
Investing in some companies (and getting to know smart people) is fascinating but adding personal value to
companies is my passion.
"Passion, team and traction are the main components for business success.
A good product comes automatically out of good teams and passion. 😉"
Based on all the experience my partners and I accumulated, we want to give knowledge back to other companies.
Many companies have awesome founders and great products and still don't get enough traction to be
ultimately successful.
As we don't want to be consultants rather more like operative mentors, we
founded The Scaling Team.
We focus on international SAAS companies which have a lack in TEAM, PRODUCT or TRACTION.
If you let us join your team, we jump in for 6 up to 12 months.
Based on a mutually developed Scaling Plan
and clear, challenging goals we will scale your business. Sounds interesting?

My being an entrepreneur stands on three foundations which lead to an important Work-Life-Balance. These are Family, Business & Sports.
A healthy mind in a healthy body
Working goal-oriented gives you a very clear focus. To fully disclose: I ❤️ lists.
Networking and building private / business relationships are very
important for me. One of my mottos is "gather smarter people around you than you are".
But there are so many fascinating things in life:
Traction |
|
It's amazing to see businesses grow. Love the numbers and the energy you feel when you're part of these
companies. Traction is my North star.
|
Growth Hacking |
|
Learned this from an amazing guy named Tamir from Hackabu and soon it became a passion. Growth Hacking is about processes (not tactics) how to
grow your business through analysis, metrics, experiments, learning and repetition. Better definitions can be found at this
awesome site (www.growthhackers.com).

Way too many things |
|
Just let me give you a brief list (told you I love lists) of what else drives me:
OMG, you get my problem. Too many interests, too little time ;-). |
Setting up this new site made me remove all my former blog posts and move the remaining posts to Medium. Read more about Traction, Growth Hacking, Metrics, Team, Passion, etc (and Triathlon) there.
