Wind and solar energy forecasting experts at Steadysun
The sun ☀️ and wind 💨 are free and infinite resources, yet their inherent intermittency creates volatility that costs the sector billions annually, severely complicates market strategies, and poses a constant risk to the electrical grid that powers our world. At Steadysun, we have made resolving this paradox our core mission. We turn this chaotic uncertainty into a measurable, strategic, and competitive advantage. Our approach is built on a radical rejection of simplicity. While most forecasting solutions rely on a limited number of meteorological models, we view this as fundamentally insufficient—akin to piloting an aircraft while looking through only one window. We have engineered an AI brain 🧠, a proprietary and powerful intelligence designed to operate with a full 360-degree vision. This engine is continuously fed by an unparalleled diversity of data in the market. It aggressively aggregates and analyzes information from over twenty specialized meteorological models, ranging from global experts to hyper-local specialists, leveraging the strengths of each. Crucially, we augment this with real-time data from satellites 🛰️ tracking cloud formation, live readings from ground sensors providing on-the-spot conditions, and years of deep historical datasets that serve as our AI’s memory, allowing it to learn from and eliminate past errors. This massive data fusion is our signature: the multi-model approach. It enables us to detect weak signals that others miss, delivering power generation forecasts of exceptional reliability and predictive accuracy. For our clients, this advantage is profound and tangible. It grants power producers the ability to sell their energy at optimal prices 📈 and plan maintenance without sacrificing peak production. It equips traders with the confidence required to manage risk and capitalize on volatile market opportunities. And for grid operators, it provides the indispensable tool needed to anticipate every ramp event and guarantee security of supply for everyone. We are not just selling data. We are selling confidence—the confidence necessary to invest massively in and operate a sustainable, reliable, and profitable energy future. 🚀

Managing Consultant and CEO at spectup
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.

CFO at The Bottom Line Group
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!
