As an experienced technology and product development expert, I am looking for innovative startups that I can support not only financially, but also strategically and operationally. I have over 20 years of experience in software development and have specialized in the development of digital products, the construction of scalable software solutions, and the successful implementation of product strategies over the last 15 years. Throughout my career, I have accompanied numerous products from the first idea through market launch to scaling, working closely with founders, developers, product managers, and stakeholders. My focus is on technology-driven business models, particularly in the areas of software, SaaS, AI, platform solutions, digitalization, and data-driven products. I bring comprehensive expertise in product strategy, software architecture, engineering excellence, agile product development, and organizational building. In addition to an investment as a business angel, I seek an active role as a sparring partner, advisor, or strategic partner. Together with my employer, Red Oak Consulting GmbH, we can additionally support startups through technological consulting, product development expertise, and a strong network. I am particularly interested in ambitious founding teams with a clear vision, a scalable business model, and the will to develop outstanding products. What I bring: • More than 20 years of experience in software development • 15 years of specialization in product development and product strategy • Expertise in software architecture and scaling of digital products • Support in technology, product, and organizational issues • Access to consulting and implementation expertise via Red Oak Consulting GmbH • Long-term and partnership-oriented cooperation instead of purely financial investment
