In the Internet business for two decades and still hungry. Passionate early Cluetrain Manifesto signatory from Germany.

Managing Director / CEO @betawerke I/0 innovation & startup for corporations

I (betawerke) advise corporations in digital strategies & business models, digital transformation and corporate startup engagement (CSE), e.g. startup scouting, learning journey, accelerator & incubator programs.

betawerke helps also in building digital businesses for the 21st century. Our entrepreneurs in residence (EIR) use methodologies and the mindset of successful startups to build new digital businesses for bigger corporations and SME. Our own products/projects helps the whole innovation & startup ecosystem to stay at the forefront of the digital evolution.

In my spare time: I consult, seed & match ambitious ventures and help startup communities to grow. I look for opportunities or for opportunities of my network to invest in entrepreneurial teams with great ideas that need seed or growth capital to build up their ideas.

You want to pitch? I like to be contacted through my network. Find someone I know and trust and who is willing to provide me with your pitch deck, business plan or your teaser.
