About me
In 2022 I co-founded Big Cheese Ventures, an advisory firm that accelerates the growth of startups and disruptive SMEs through business & corporate development. I also run a single family office, which focuses on VC, PE & real-estate investments.
In 2017 I co-founded WeAreDevelopers, a scaleup that we turned into Europe‘s #1 recruiting platform for software developers. Today, WeAreDevelopers has offices in Vienna, Berlin, Serajevo, Barcelona, Amsterdam and London. Once a year we host the world’s largest event for software developers at Messe Berlin, with 15,000 software developers. Think Web Summit for developers.
I‘m the lead investor of Notarity, an Austrian startup that enables users in >100 countries to sign notary documents remotely. With Founders of Europe, I run a pre-seed & seed investor focused on B2B tech startups.
