Excited to share that I have joined Haufe Group Ventures as Venture Architect to build the next B2B SaaS venture 🚀
What a journey the last three months 🦄 We’ve been part of XPRENEURS incubator for high-tech start-ups to bring CertHub to the next level! Yesterday was the grand finale of our time with the accelerator with the #UltimateDemoDay hosted by UnternehmerTUM and we’re coming out of stealth as one of the startups of the current batch. As always – an amazing event! I am really grateful for all the learnings and insights, the connections with very experienced mentors and of course the late-night chats with all the other startups teams! 🫶🏼
I spent the last two days with fellow #startups from #weconomy to discuss our common journey towards the right market 📈 We got support from high profile mentors from different industry backgrounds which really gave some new thoughts! Super glad to be part of this community! Big thanks to Wissensfabrik - Unternehmen für Deutschland e.V., UnternehmerTUM, Handelsblatt and the host KSB Company and all the individual organizers and supporters!

Niklas, Maximilian and I are scaling Teigpiloten to the next level in 2023, which means there is more work than ever! If you are an entrepreneurial-minded student from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Technische Universität München or Manage and More by UnternehmerTUM and always wanted to get first-hand insights into an early stage #startup please message me! Our current focus areas are Strategy, Sales, Partner Management, and Marketing/PR. If you are interested in any of those areas and would like to get early startup experience, we are a good fit. To be quite frank, our budget is still small, but the future looks great! We offer flexible part-time positions, share our network and give you deep insights into the process of building a startup – with all ups and downs. Life is journey, so we are super happy to go a semester or two (and obviously even longer) with you to share ideas and learn together. 📣 Sounds exciting? Please reach out to me!

CertHub offers a validated data-driven Quality Management System and Technical Documentation platform for SMEs to launch medical products years faster by automating regulatory processes and save 30% on continuous compliance with AI.
Responsible for Product, Sales & Operations
Skills:
I bring years of experience in digital product development to the table. With my broad but clear (non-specialist) perspective, I introduced design thinking to generate many ideas and hypotheses during workshops, which we implemented and tested using rapid prototyping (I'm very familiar with Figma [High-Fidelity Mockups/Low Fidelity Wireframes]).
Using the learnings from the co-innovation sessions with our MedTech-clients and regulatory experts, I improved the concepts and had the developers implement those in the following sprint (before we had investor money, I also developed the first MVP using React/TypeScript, Django, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
I see product development and customer success coming together!
After we’ve hired colleagues for Engineering & Business Roles, I established business processes and decision-making channels as well as clear working ethic in bi-weekly sprints (Agile Methods) with a clear House of Heads (who is responsible for what). I’ve focussed especially on developing a strong company culture within the team (my passion project!), which I’ve developed further in the monthly retros. I also introduced bi-weekly 1:1 with my direct reports and workshops on conflict resolution if needed.
I was responsible for the entire enterprise sales process. I set up a sales automation pipeline using Lusha and Lemlist to process our leads from trade fairs, industry associations, sponsored events and LinkedIn efficiently (all captured in HubSpot CRM). My key points of contact at the German MedTech SMEs were C-Level, Head of Regulatory, Head of R&D and IT-Departments as well as their Regulatory Consultants (Stakeholder Management). Depending on the persona, I have created different marketing materials that address their questions and concerns (I am said to have very good PowerPoint skills)
I focused on a strong relationship with our clients and regular update calls, which meant that user-feedback and regulatory requirements were incorporated directly into the next sprint (Agile Methods, Customer Success)
In close alignment with industry experts, regulatory consultants, mentors and my management colleagues, I set up a clear company strategy and vision (e.g. customer focus/ICP, pricing & software license packages, scaling/upselling potential, revenue potential in adjacent customer groups, complementary revenue streams besides software license business).
Drafting and creation of employment contracts, license agreements and software level agreements in coordination with industry experts and lawyers. I made sure everyone is paid on time (including our employees (Payroll), us as CertHub GmbH and our software partners) as well as the correct reporting of the quarter-end accounts for the tax authorities.
I was responsible for public relation and marketing (content + design/corporate identity). The marketing material (in-depth PowerPoint presentations, pitch decks, brochures/flyers, articles for professional journals, merchandise etc.) I’ve created was used in direct communication with clients and partners as well as investors, incubators/accelerators.
In addition, I created a state-of-the-art website (content + design) and set up and maintained the LinkedIn company page.
