Founders
Turn a big idea into a focused next move, work through uncertainty, and make better decisions with less noise.
MENTORING
A clear next step when things feel complicated.
One-to-one business and life mentoring for founders, startup teams, and people at a meaningful crossroads. Bring the real question—not a polished version of it.
WHO IT IS FOR
A useful outside perspective.
You might be weighing a business decision, working through a team challenge, or wondering what you want from the next chapter of your life.
Startup teams
Bring product, people, and business questions into one honest conversation and leave with practical direction.
Life changes
Find clarity when your work, identity, or priorities are shifting and the next move is not obvious yet.
MY PERSPECTIVE
19 years building companies—and still learning about myself.
Building companies for 19 years has been an amazing education in ideas, people, uncertainty, and what it takes to keep moving. My own self-development journey has taught me just as much about listening, resilience, and finding a direction that feels true.
I bring both sides into mentoring: practical experience from company building and the perspective of someone who is still learning, too. Helping people find their next step—at work and in life—is what matters to me.
WHAT WE WORK ON
From stuck to specific.
The conversation follows what is real for you now—not a one-size-fits-all formula.
- A business idea or difficult decision
- Positioning, priorities, and the next move
- Product, team, and leadership questions
- Confidence during a transition
- Making space for a more honest direction
- Turning reflection into practical action
HOW IT WORKS
A simple, focused process.
Start with a conversation. We work out what kind of support is useful before deciding on anything longer term.
01
Start with a conversation
We look at where you are, what is changing, and what you want to be different.
02
Set a focus
We agree on the question or change you want to explore in our conversation.
03
Leave with a next move
We bring the conversation back to what you can try, decide, or explore next.
MENTORING ON THE MOVE
Walk the Phil
Some conversations are easier side by side. Walk with me along the Donaulände in Linz and use the time to talk through a business question, a decision, or a change in life.
This is mentoring outdoors and in motion: focused time to think things through together.
