After completing my studies in economics and founding my first start-up, I began focusing on financing and funding for the corporate group of a Hamburg-based entrepreneur in 2017. Initially, the focus was on start-ups and scale-ups in the software sector, with biotechnology added in 2021. As I increasingly became the go-to contact for funding within my circle of friends and acquaintances, founding a consultancy for funding and financing, together with my co-founder Marius, was the next logical step. This allows us to support more companies in realizing and accelerating their innovative projects and growth plans.

As a Ph.D. graduate in Mechanical Engineering, I have successfully secured numerous funding grants at the Institute for Textile Technology at RWTH Aachen and later continued this work on a freelance basis. Additionally, I serve as a reviewer for the EU and other funding organizations, giving me valuable insights into various approval processes. My experience in securing funding across different corporate contexts and industries, project management, and my role as a reviewer enables me to provide comprehensive advice to our partners and significantly enhance their chances of approval.

After completing my Master's degree in Business Administration at the University of Vienna, I specialized in advising companies on funding. As a partner manager at GrantLift, I provide targeted support to innovative companies in identifying suitable funding programs and strategically implementing funding applications. My aim is to make complex funding processes understandable and efficient - with the aim of realizing forward-looking projects, promoting sustainable growth and maintaining Germany as a lucrative location for innovation.

As a graduate engineer in Biomedical Engineering from TU Vienna, I bring not only a strong interest but also extensive expertise in research and development projects. Over the past two years, I have gained experience with well over 100 funding applications and have continually specialized in the commercial preparation and retrieval of funding. My focus at GrantLift is on ensuring a seamless process – from the creation of coherent financial plans to the disbursement of funds and beyond.

At GrantLift, I assist in identifying and applying for the most economically and strategically beneficial funding packages for our partners. As a trained Data Scientist and Economist, I previously applied my expertise in data science within the economic contexts of clients across various industries while working in strategy consulting. Evaluating the opportunities offered by different funding options and integrating them into a company’s overall strategy is, for me, an essential part of comprehensive advisory services.

As a Partner Manager at GrantLift, my main task is to show companies the potential of public funding and make tailor-made programs accessible.

Personal exchange is particularly important to me - for example at trade fairs or industry events.
