“I’ve dreamed of starting my own company since I was around eighteen. Over the years I’ve worked in several salaried roles. Each one taught me a lot, but none of them made that dream any smaller. If anything, it grew. I’ve reached the point where I no longer want to keep it as a “someday” plan. I want to take it into my own hands, now. I’m looking for a founder who already has a product or service and wants to take it further together. I’d like to join as a co-founder and put my strengths to work where they matter most: marketing, strategy and finance. More than anything, I want to build a brand that makes a real, positive difference in the lives of the people it serves. When I look back one day, I want to know that I contributed something meaningful and built something I genuinely enjoyed.”

“Above all, someone honest and authentic. Someone who is realistic, but still dares to dream big, really big. Someone who wants to build, and who wants to create a brand that makes an impact rather than just another product. I’m looking for a partner with a technical or product-oriented mindset: someone who can actually build the thing, whether that’s the technology or the product itself. That’s where we would complement each other best. Just as important: an open mind. I want a partnership where everything can be put on the table, where we can disagree openly and honestly, and where the best idea wins, no matter whose it was. For me, that kind of trust is the foundation of everything we would build together.”

“I don’t have one specific dream company in mind, and the industry isn’t what matters most. What does matter is that I feel a genuine click with the product and its mission, because I can only fully commit to something I truly believe in. I’m also at my best in a B2C market, close to the end customer, where brand, positioning and the way people experience a company make the real difference. Just as important are the values a company is built on: Innovation: always looking for a better way of doing things. A winning culture: that is ambitious and determined to go for it. Transparency and honesty: within the team and towards customers. Ownership and autonomy: where people take responsibility and get the freedom to act. And extreme focus and dedication to reach our goals and create real change. A company built on those values, with a product people genuinely need, that’s what I want to give everything for.”
