Story

I am a long-time investment banker but also an entrepreneur. I love numbers and I know the financial markets. But my passion has always been entrepreneurship. Meeting with and talking to successful entrepreneurs, discussing business models and development opportunities is what makes my job fun.

I find myself in the middle and I get enormous satisfaction in being able to translate between entrepreneurs and financiers. When these two worlds meet it gets really exciting.

Many entrepreneurs spend too much time chasing cash, keeping investors happy or trying to secure the next round of financing. This contributes close to nothing when it comes to developing the business, often in a critical phase where every hour of the day, every sales call or R&D meeting can make a difference.

As an investor, byWiT does not invest and disappear, hoping for success and a possible future equity round at a higher valuation. We are in this together with the entrepreneurs. We love to share responsibilities and work loads, making sure that we use all resources where they are most needed and set a long-term financing plan. Every journey will have its ups and downs and working through it together we can secure a strong partnership and reduce stress. We are fully committed to every investment and only by rolling up our sleeves can we secure a higher success rate.
