Start-up advice

As an experienced finance professional with a broad background in tourism, IT and venture capital/private equity, I can look back on a successful career in finance. I have worked in various positions since 1997 and have been able to gain valuable experience. My career started as an analyst at one of the first private equity firms in Austria, G&H Kapitalpartner, where I was responsible for both corporate finance and the private equity fund. Later, as an investment manager, I was involved in the founding and implementation of Bank Austria Private Equity GmbH, one of the largest fund groups in Austria at the time with a total volume of around EUR 190 million. My focus there was on the areas of information and communication technology, which is why I always took on the internal IT and telecommunications agendas for my fund commitments. Most recently, I was involved in setting up and implementing the two venture capital funds tecnet company (Pontis venture partners - EUR 50 million) and tecnet equity (EUR 50 million). Overall, through my engagements, I have been able to create around 20+ successful companies and consultancies for 2,000+ startups with a total volume of EUR 300+ million in the last 28 years. Thanks to these successes, I have an extensive network in the financing industry, especially in the field of innovative technologies. My knowledge and experience make me a valuable partner for companies looking for successful financing.
