I love turning ideas into companies - and I’m lucky to be surrounded by people who share the same passion. 

Right now, I’m fully focused on Heizma. What started as an idea in December 2023 turned into a company by March 2024. By the end of that year, we had reached €10M in sales and installed over 500 heat pumps. Bootstrapped.

Today, Heizma is Austria’s leading full-service electrification provider, offering heat pumps, solar, batteries, EV chargers, air conditioning, energy management, and an energy community to help our customers access the cleanest and most affordable energy possible.


I’ve been chasing ideas and turning them into businesses for as long as I can remember - from flipping goods at flea markets at age 7 to large-scale game key reselling at 15 (XX.XXX€ monthly revenue), which eventually led me to Bitcoin.

What followed were multiple business ideas during my university years, until my early touchpoints with Bitcoin led me to build Coinpanion. The idea? So simple it actually worked: Crypto for people who don’t want to follow charts - just set it, forget it, and let it ride. (hello #ETFs for crypto)

So I did what every 21-year-old entrepreneurial student does: I stopped studying (eventually finished later) and dove headfirst into the rollercoaster. We built a team of up to 40, expanded into 3 countries (Austria, Germany, and Poland), reached 25,000 customers, and raised €6M in funding.

In 2023, we were fortunate to successfully exit the company to Revix, which - together with a consortium of crypto platforms - became Altify, now serving a large number of customers across Africa and Europe.

With no break at all, things unfolded as they did, and I found myself in the next adventure: Heizma - and honestly, I love it every day. 

Occasionally, I also invest in other startups via morgen ventures, but the truth is:
I’m a founder first, investor second - and right now, it’s heads-down building time.

Head of Marketing

Hey! 👋 I'm a serial entrepreneur based in Berlin and obsessed with digital marketing and growth hacking.

Proven track record of growing and scaling companies in:

- FinTech 
- E-Commerce
- Real Estate
- Travel & Tourism 
- Fitness
- Education
- Health

My (unconventional) journey as an entrepreneur/marketer:

2008-2012: 14 years old, started affiliate marketing to afford video games and ended up generating and monetizing hundreds of thousands of clicks in the US and DACH region (gaming and music niches) without spending a dime on marketing.

2017: While in college, I searched for the best students who had graduated in the shortest amount of time, interviewed them, and created a how-to guide that I then sold online. All while taking a long time to finish my own degree. 🤫

2018: Co-founded Colourful Moments, an AI-based e-commerce platform to upload black and white images and buy a colorized version of them. Also ran marketing for a real estate investment company during this time.

2019: Co-founded Smilebold, a direct-to-consumer teeth-straightening startup that delivered custom-made, invisible aligners to your doorstep.

2020-2023: Co-founded Coinpanion, to enable ETF-like crypto investments, grew to 40 employees within 3 years and raised €5.8M from founders and executives of Scalable Capital, Bitpanda, Clark, Finanzcheck.de, Runtastic, 468 Capital and many more.

Currently building something new and investing in interesting startups.
