Hi, I'm Timo, 29 years old, live in Amsterdam and am a passionate hiker and cyclist.

I am also Co-Founder and CEO of DECAID Studio. We have been the Generative AI partner for marketing teams and agencies for two years. We completed more than 10 Generative AI projects, conducted more than 60 workshops and made over 40 clients happy. Furthermore, we also do Generative AI trainings and have already onboarded more than 1,500 marketers.

You are welcome to send me a message to discuss Generative AI, ChatGPT, Midjourney …

Top 5 Anzeichen, dass deine Firma nur KI-Theater spielt.

Nach über 170 begleiteten Kunden erkenne ich die Show sofort.

Vergesst die Hochglanz-Folien und die »AI-First«-Strategiepapiere.

Echte KI-Adaption zeigt sich in täglichen Taten, nicht im Gerede.

Hier die fünf untrüglichen Anzeichen:

---

Der nutzlose CompanyGPT

Ihr habt viel Geld für eine Eigenentwicklung ausgegeben.

Aber die UX ist furchtbar, das Modell veraltet und die Features fehlen.

Das Ergebnis: Die Schatten-KI blüht. Mitarbeiter nutzen heimlich ChatGPT, während das teure offizielle Tool verrottet.

---

Der Vorstand nutzt es nicht

Der Vorstand ruft das »Jahr der KI« aus.

Aber die Führungskräfte nutzen die Tools nicht sichtbar selbst.

Ohne Vorleben keine Nachahmung.

Wenn der Chef tippt statt promptet, tut es das Team auch.

---

Verantwortungs-Ping-Pong

KI ist angeblich »Prio 1«.

Aber niemand hat das klare Mandat UND das Budget.

Das Thema wird zwischen IT, Innovation und HR zerrieben.

Wenn alle ein bisschen zuständig sind, ist am Ende keiner zuständig.

---

Alte Prozesse mit neuer Technik

Ihr versucht, 15 Jahre alte, ineffiziente Prozesse mit KI zu automatisieren.

Statt sie neu und AI-Native zu denken.

Die harte Wahrheit: Automatisierter Müll ist immer noch Müll.

---

Teure Lizenzen, keine Daten

Ihr kauft teure Enterprise-Lizenzen.

Aber ihr verbietet aus Angst den Zugriff auf relevante interne Daten.

Eine KI ohne Kontext ist wertlos.

Ihr zahlt für das Tool, aber lasst es nicht an eure Daten.

---

KI-Transformation passiert nicht auf PowerPoint-Folien.

Sie passiert im Doing.

In wie vielen dieser Punkte erkennt ihr euer Unternehmen wieder?

P.S.: Das Gute: Alle fünf Punkte sind behebbar. Aber nur, wenn man ehrlich zu sich selbst ist.

Venture Architect

Exploring trustworthy AI & Web3 👾 Entrepreneur // Investor // Digital Trust Activist

To this day, I’ve built 20+ tech ventures, driven by curiosity and a passion for turning my ideas into reality.

It all started when I was just a kid, building computers with my dad and figuring out how technology could solve problems.

At 17, I launched my first startup and learned early on what it takes to build, adapt, and keep moving forward.

Since then, I’ve worked across industries, like mobility, fintech, cyber security, and more—constantly challenging myself to find better ways to create value.

Today, I lead **DECAID Group,** a community-based company group at the forefront of generative AI innovation.

I’ve always believed AI would completely reshape how we work, and DECAID is set to guide companies through that transformation.

Thus we’ve created 3 specialized portfolio companies to support our customers in every step of their AI transformation journey:

→ DECAID Academy

Role-specific training to prepare teams for AI. Includes self-paced courses, weekly masterclasses, and practical tools.

→ DECAID Studio

A 21-day program designed to integrate AI into daily workflows. Teams learn by doing, with tasks tailored to their roles.

→ DECAID Elements

For companies ready to go deeper, Elements delivers custom-built AI workflows and automation tools.

In short, my goal is simple: AI is disrupting every industry, and I’m here to help my partners end up on the winning side of that transformation.

And when I’m not building companies, I’m focused on progress. Whether it’s experimenting with biohacking, geeking out on history, or keeping up with my ****marvelous wife and two daughters (the real CEO’s of my life), I’m always looking for ways to improve and grow.

If you’re ready to explore how AI can reshape your business—or just want to exchange ideas about what’s possible—let’s connect.
