STARTUP & INNOVATION COACHING

Sharper ideas. Stronger founders.

I have coached hundreds of startups through Axel Springer Plug and Play, APX and Climate-KIC. Today, I support teams at the QIMP High-Tech Incubator in Braunschweig with innovation and communication coaching.

THE CHALLENGE

Make the value of innovation clear.

The teams work on complex technologies and business models. Coaching focuses on making their substance understandable: what problem do they solve, who does it matter to, and where is the business potential?

MY CONTRIBUTION

Connect innovation and communication.

I work with founders to clarify their idea, develop the business and shape its story. Through this exchange with hundreds of teams, pitch coaching grew into innovation design and helped shape PEAK.

YEARS OF COACHING

Hundreds of startups. Many perspectives.

For around a decade, I coached startups at Axel Springer Plug and Play and APX, from first pitches to Demo Days. I also worked as a coach for Climate-KIC.

TODAY: QIMP

Deep tech. Human understanding.

Today, I bring that experience to QIMP in Braunschweig, coaching accelerator startups in innovation and communication: sharpening the idea, understanding its audience and making its value clear.

WHY IT MATTERS TO ME

Support founders. Help shape what comes next.

Helping founders build and communicate new ideas matters deeply to me. It strengthens their next step and contributes to Germany’s future as a place for innovation.
