Operational Advisory Board

Not a name on a business card. Operational advisory means: thinking along, building along, taking responsibility. For startups looking for someone who opens the laptop, not just gives advice.

What I bring

15 years of building, scaling and turning companies around. Two own ventures, P&L responsibility in agency networks, C-level advisory in the German Mittelstand. Today three ventures under Laberrabarber GmbH and digital consulting through segmenta experience.

For startups, Seed to Series A

Operational advisory board with an equity component. For founding teams that need a co-builder, not just a sparring partner. I bring experience, network and operational hours. And I bet on your success, not on fees.

What you get

Two sparring sessions per month, remote or on-site. Async access via Slack for operational questions that can't wait until the next call. Operational involvement in defined areas: product, growth, automation, go-to-market. Quarterly strategy review.

No slide deck at the end. Results.

Good fit if

You solve a real problem and can deliver. AI is at the core of your product. You're looking for someone who takes operational responsibility, not just makes introductions. And you're willing to give equity because you believe in your own success.

Not a fit if

You're looking for a silent partner. Your business model is built on hype rather than substance. You just need a logo for the website. Or if I can't add real value. In that case, I'll say so.
