General Manager & Founder

Treatwell

I was involved in building Salonmeister, now Treatwell.

Salonmeister develops web-based salon management software and distributes it in a SaaS model. Supported by T-Ventures and other VCs based in Germany.

With Sophiadesigns, I had developed and operated the web-based booking and appointment management software, and then helped resource technical expertise when Salonmeister started building its own technical team after funding.

Salonmeister was sold to UK competitor Wahanda, now Treatwell, in 10/2014:

TRUPARTS

TRUPARTS has access to 100,000 in-stock spare parts, enabling the simplest ordering process with just 3 clicks and the fastest delivery. TRUPARTS provides a fully digital and industry-wide distribution channel. For the first time, customers can access a centralized, cross-industry spare parts marketplace with fast delivery times, full transparency, and a seamless ordering experience.

Studies indicate that within the next 10 years, more than 87% of the spare parts business could shift to the gray market, resulting in significant revenue losses and reduced influence over pricing, service quality, and customer relationships. The gray market continues to grow, and without a strategic response. TRUPARTS enables OEMs to take back control of their spare parts business in an increasingly transparent and competitive market.

Entrepreneur | Startup Mentor | Partner in Clime

Hi there, I’m Yannick 👋

I mentor and invest in startups doing good.

After starting my career in a conventional path, I discovered my passion to build and grow startups.

Based on 10+ years in entrepreneurship, I now help founders build impactful companies and grow personally. Especially those that preserve a livable planet for tomorrow.

I’ve been told that my zone of genius lies in navigating complex challenges with clarity, while staying calm. I enjoy operating behind the scenes to ensure the pioneers always feel empowered.


I’m fully committed to every venture I take on, aiming to be #1 person a founder calls in tough times.

My personal ambition: To be Europe’s most influential Startup Investor for positive impact. 🚀
