• PUBLIC FUNDING · BERLIN
Public funding shouldn’t be a black box.
I help German deeptech and software startups build a predictable, audit-proof funding pipeline. From opportunity scouting to Verwendungsnachweis — end-to-end, without the chaos.

You’ve won the grant. Now what?
Most public funding support stops at the application. But the real complexity kicks in after the award: monthly Stundennachweise, milestone reporting, Zuwendungsbescheid compliance, and the constant risk that one misaligned spreadsheet row triggers a six-figure repayment demand.
I’ve lived on the inside of that problem — managing €10M+ portfolios at LiveEO (ESA, DLR, IBB, SPRIND) and Liquidloop — and I know exactly where things break down. Now I bring that operational expertise to founders and teams who need more than a grant writer.

• WHY ME
Not a consultant.
An operator who's
done it.
Most funding consultants help you apply and disappear. I come from the inside: I’ve owned entire grant portfolios, built timesheet workflows from scratch, managed negotiations with funding bodies, and survived audits.
That means I know not just which programs to apply for, but how to run them operationally once the money arrives — and how to avoid the compliance traps that catch most startups off-guard.
