They say I'm a serial entrepreneur & mentor.
I started my entrepreneurial career almost in a garage (it was a library) and more than 20 years ago, me and some of my friends founded a software company (an Enterprise CMS vendor) which got acquired -
Gentics. At the same time, we built a tech startup (a real-time collaborative editing technology) that
didn't made it fully to market, because it got acquired by Atlassian.
Wikidocs.
After these 2 adventures and a creative break, I joined an electrive vehicle charging software startup (has.to.be) that became the biggest exit in Austria (300M$).
Right now, I'm the head of growth and co-founder of Usersnap, the #1 customer feedback solution for SaaS companies which actually got acquired in 2023.
I'm an
enthusiastic triathlete 🚴, loving family father ❤️ and an advocate for lifelong learning 📚.
Investing in companies is fascinating but adding personal value to companies is my passion.
"Passion, team and growth are the main components for business success.
A good product comes automatically out of good teams and passion. 😉"
If you are interested in growing a SaaS business, listen/watch my podcast GroWTF? - a growth podcast of HOG Klaus-M.
Based on all experiences 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 & growth 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 GROWTH.
(Right now, we are fully engaged with Usersnap).
We join your team for a certain time and
based on a mutually developed Scaling Plan
and clear, challenging goals we will scale your business. Sounds interesting?
"Klaus-M. is a creative and fully dedicated professional who furthers the cause of his company in every possible way. Klaus-M. is one of those few people who are able to inspire and positively influence people around them. I thoroughly enjoy talking and working with Klaus-M."
My path to become a serial entrepreneur and mentor is based on three pillars that lead to an important Work-Life-Balance. These are Business, Family & Sports.
A healthy mind in a healthy body
Working goal-oriented gives you a very clear focus. You have to build a strong culture and organisation,
give your team self-confidence and possibilities to grow personally and this will lead to a successful business.
Growth of your SaaS business is based on a few main pillars and a lot of work in between. As you know, there are now silver
bullets but you can fire you lead bullets in the right direction. That's what I want to help you with.

I started in sales & marketing of a sales-led company but I was fascinated by the upcoming topic of growth hacking.
To learn more, I joined a growth hacking agency, operated by an amazing person and expert Tamir Israely. Soon
the search for growth became a passion.
Growth hacking evolved to Growth Marketing and other topics like Product-led growth popped up and caught my interest.
