The advisorybehind the companies.
Founded 2012. Consulting, investments and co-founding. Fourteen years of operating experience applied inside your company rather than delivered as a deck.
We take the work we would do as founders and do it with you. Nothing we advise on is something we have not run ourselves.
Founded by Tobias Börner in Dresden. Run by Tim Börner from Singapore.
