De-risking GTM Acceleration 📈 - B2B SaaS only

Most B2B founders can sell their way to 1M ARR.
Scaling to 5M+? That’s where it breaks.

Why?
Because founder sales don’t scale. 

And hiring a Head of Sales too early is like hiring a DJ to fix your Wi-Fi.

You don’t have a hiring problem.
You have a system problem.

𝗛𝗶, 𝗜’𝗺 𝗕𝗷ö𝗿𝗻 𝗪. 𝗦𝗰𝗵ä𝗳𝗲𝗿 – 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿, 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁.

For the past 10+ years, I’ve helped 150+ B2B SaaS startups across Europe scale from early traction to real revenue engines – as a founder, sales leader, advisor, and operator.

I led Urban Sports Club’s B2B business to 20x growth and €20M+ revenue, scaled my own startups, and now focus exclusively on helping founders master the messy middle:

I work hands-on with B2B SaaS & AI startups in the DACH region and across Europe that are serious about reaching the next level.

This isn’t about hacks, hustle, or hiring silver bullets.

It’s about building systems that work — with or without you.

If you’re at 1M+ ARR and ready to build a sales org that scales itself, we should talk.
