What kinds of problems do you spar on?
Technical: architecture, database and setup decisions across many stacks, agent infrastructure, the operating model for running agents in production. And non-technical: co-founder friction, equity, fundraising, the calls a founder can't Google. What I don't do is line-by-line code debugging — that's not where the leverage is.
Do you cover the co-founder and fundraising side, too?
Yes — it's some of the most valued time I sell. I've built ventures with up to three co-founders and up to 40 people on payroll, raised, and exited twice. I've been through the arguments, the equity splits, and taking money from a co-founder. I also run technical due diligence for investors and have pitched my own rounds, so I can show you how the other side of the table reads your deck, your tech, and your team. I listen, ask a lot, and give you straight, honest counsel.
We can't send code to a cloud LLM. Can you still help?
That's half of what I actually do. The agentic-coding track covers self-hosting GLM / Gemma / Qwen on your own infra, with fallback routing and eval loops.
Is the coding side Claude Code specific?
Claude Code is my daily driver and the default — but the patterns transfer to Cursor, Aider, and your own in-house orchestrators. The workflow is the point, not the brand.
What if the 6-week program isn't a fit?
After session 1, if you feel it's the wrong fit, I refund the remaining sessions pro rata. No drama.
Languages & when can we start?
English or German. I take on a handful of 6-week programs per quarter and 1–2 workshops per month. Reach out below — I reply within 48 hours.
