Philipp Hammerer
Venture Builder, Business Angel, and Operating Partner in Vorarlberg, Austria
With a proven track record in product development, GTM, IT, and business operations, I bridge the gap between deep-tech innovation and scalable commercial success. Serving as Operating Partner at FT AG (an Austria-based Single Family Office), I leverage my experience as a venture builder, advisor, business angel and board member to drive sustainable value creation and growth.
WHO
My expertise spans a broad industrial and digital spectrum, from semiconductors, industrial electronics, and power systems to automation, IoT platforms, databases, e-commerce, and sustainability domains such as waste management, recycling, and circular economy.
I have a deep history of developing and launching physical, cyber-physical, and digital products and services, scaling organizations from agile startups and SMEs to global enterprises.
I am a strong advocate for lean methodologies, open innovation, and disruptive technologies that solve real-world challenges.
WHAT
I support early-stage startups and disruptive SMEs at the intersection of industry and digital innovation. Beyond capital, I provide strategic and operational guidance, my network and if required hands-on support to help founders and management teams navigate the transition from MVP to global scale by helping them build products, nail GTM, scale operations, and raise capital.
I invest in the future of the industrial landscape, with a core focus on Cyber-Physical Systems. My passion lies in startups that bridge the gap between hardware and software to solve complex problems.
I actively look for synergies within my network and the portfolio of FT AG to accelerate growth and maximize value creation.
