Funded.club

I set up “funded.club” to help other founders recruit and grow their teams without paying huge agency fees or having to expand their own HR and recruiting staff. 
We rapidly became a disruptor for startup recruiting charging low fixed fees per search starting at USD 4500 or EUR 3900 per hire = affordable headhunting for startups!
We work closely with management teams as a dedicated, outsourced recruiting platform to bring top developers, designers, sales, marketing and support talent to the team, efficiently. 
Funded.club also provides investor readiness tools and access to funding partners to help founders fuel their dreams.
We're a fully-remote, global team following a "Teal" structure of self-organizing teams.

Managing Director

Funded.club CEO | People Leader | Startup Board Member & Advisor | Public Speaker | Funding Expert | Singer-Songwriter

25+ years in businesses including 9 years in startups: 
Sales rep > Recruiter > Head of HR > Rockstar (yes really :) > startup(s) CEO > startup advisor.
 
I've interviewed and advised thousands of startup teams over the past 5 years as the Founder and CEO of Funded.club (plus many more in public speaking engagements).

In addition to growing Funded.club, I'm spending some time on boards and mentoring exciting startups. I was lucky to live through a business accelerator experience at Startupbootcamp with >100 mentors, so it's really fun to give back to this startup community now. 

In my free time, I still enjoy making music and videos, going on family adventures, and sometimes I drag my middle-aged body around a triathlon course. I swim, cycle, and run slow, but it's great to switch off and get away from screens and wifi :)
