There is an interesting phenomenon being on the receiving end of a sales meeting when you spend so much time trying to do just that, it's a tough job to be sure and it is so easy to see what the difference makers are doing that seperate them from their peers. What amazes me is when there is a top notch service but it's ruined by a below average, sales rep. If you've ever been there - we should talk!

If you’re here, you’re probably curious about who I am and what we do at spectup. Let me fill you in. I started my career with a banking apprenticeship, thinking I’d spend my life crunching numbers. But then I discovered startups—and everything changed. At N26, the fintech unicorn, I got my first taste of the fast-paced world of innovation. I fell in love with the chaos, creativity, and energy. After that, I joined Civey, where I dove into digital market research, business models, and marketing strategies. Then came Deutsche Bahn, where I worked on international expansion, competitor analysis, and market strategies. I learned how to make sense of complex industries (global transport markets, anyone?) and drive growth. At diffferent (yes, that’s how it’s spelled), I helped brands like Audi and Zalando identify growth opportunities and design innovative business strategies. And at Deloitte’s Innovation & Ventures team, I worked on building future-proof businesses with cutting-edge tech. One highlight? Leading 30+ projects at the BMW Startup Garage, helping startups find their place in the world of mobility. That’s where I saw the real power of connecting startups with the right partners. Now, I’m building spectup. We work with growth-stage companies and select early-stage startups, helping them raise capital, connect with the right investors, and position themselves for long-term success. We also work with investors—PEs, VCs, angels, and family offices—helping them find promising, vetted companies to invest in without spending countless hours on due diligence. Why? Because startups fail too often, and investors waste too much time looking for the right opportunities. We’re here to bridge that gap. Whether you’re a founder looking for investors or an investor seeking quality opportunities, spectup is about making those connections—and making them work.

I built a website where you can hire vetted college students that go to great schools for ad-hoc contract work. The students on our website are best at business development, software development, and engineering. We've worked with nearly 100 different companies and have 5,000 students on our site (mostly in Atlanta and Boston). The vision is to build a site like Upwork/Fiverr but only for smart and hungry college students. We're totally bootstrapped and have only used the cash flows of the business to build it up ($300k AR in 2024). Outside of the company I'm a big proponent of Georgia Tech which had a big part of making me who I am. I love to travel (45 countries) and scale mountains. For the past year and a half I've been living the true digital nomad life - I have lived in 3 different cities (Boston, Chicago, NY) and backpacked all around the globe.
