About
Great startups succeed when they make the right product decisions early and execute with focus and speed.
I help founders and product managers do exactly that.
I’m Andi, a founder, hands-on technologist, and fractional CTO with 15+ years of experience building and shipping software across AI, SaaS, digital health, and marketplaces. I’ve helped teams go from idea to MVP, avoid costly architecture mistakes, and make confident decisions early, when they matter most.
My focus is simple: build the right product fast and make sure it scales.
Who I work with:
- Early-stage founders (bootstrapping, pre-seed, seed)
- Product managers stepping into technical ownership
- Teams building AI-driven or platform products
Most people I work with are navigating complex decisions between product, tech, and execution and want clarity.
How I help:
My mentoring is practical and execution-driven. We work directly on your product, not theory.
Typical topics include turning ideas into clear MVP roadmaps, validating AI features before over-investing, making pragmatic architecture decisions (APIs, serverless, cloud), avoiding unnecessary complexity, and structuring collaboration with developers or agencies.
I combine product thinking with deep technical expertise, so you get guidance that is realistic and immediately actionable.
What to expect:
In our sessions, we cut through complexity, align on priorities, and define concrete next steps you can execute right away.
Think of me as a second brain for your product and technical strategy, focused on speed, clarity, and avoiding expensive mistakes.
Let’s get started!
If you’re building a product and want to move faster with more confidence, let’s talk.
Start with a short intro call and we’ll quickly identify where I can help you create real progress.
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
As the founder of a virtual healthcare startup in the Caribbean, I needed guidance from an experienced IT professional with a background in startups as I built our platform. Andreas was exactly that. He was friendly, efficient, and organized, and he consistently brought fresh ideas and practical suggestions to the table. At the end of every session, he provided a summary along with a clear list of action items, which was extremely helpful in keeping me on track. Our sessions were robust and engaging, and with his help, the project was completed successfully and on time. I recommend him highly and without reservation.

Andreas has been instrumental in my entrepreneurship journey. When we started, I had no clear direction and no plan — today, I have stable recurring revenue through consultancy work that covers my basic cost of living, and a well-defined path forward with my startup. Throughout our collaboration, Andreas has consistently provided constructive feedback and communicated with clarity and precision. I'm grateful for the partnership and look forward to what's ahead.

Andreas has been an outstanding mentor with a strong ability to combine strategic thinking with practical, actionable advice. His guidance is clear, structured, and always focused on what truly moves the needle. What I found especially valuable was his ability to challenge assumptions and bring a sharper perspective to key decisions. He doesn’t just provide answers but helps you think better, which is incredibly valuable as a founder. His experience and insight have had a real impact on how I approach building and scaling. I’m very grateful for his time and support, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality, thoughtful mentorship.
