Hi, I’m Phil.
I help ideas
come alive.

I’m a builder and mentor based in Austria. I guide breathwork and icebathing, and help people grow and bring their ideas to life – from first spark to meaningful change.

The starting point

BUILDER BY EXPERIENCE

Built more than one company. Not done yet.

Swelly was one of them: I built the company over several years in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley, through to its exit.

Today, I bring that founder’s perspective to new digital ventures and my mentoring work.

WHAT I DO

Three areas. One common thread.

I build digital products, offer mentoring for business and life, and guide breathwork and icebathing – bringing practical experience and a personal approach to each.
