Food Sector Consulting

Over the past weeks, we’ve had the chance to learn from experienced founders, food system experts, and startup mentors who challenged us to think bigger, test faster, and focus even more on real customer needs. From understanding food systems and consumer behavior to refining our channels, KPIs, and growth strategy, every session so far has given us practical insights that we can directly apply to HealthBlokk.

A special thank you to Marlene Welzl and Carina Trafoier from the Wirtschaftsagentur Wien for organizing and supporting such a valuable program for startups. We also learned a lot from experts like Michael Kubiena, Julia Raupp, Tina Trofer, Lucia Vilsecker, Thomas Miksits-Dioso and ☀️ Franziska Kolk, who shared incredibly valuable insights from the food and startup industry.

The consultation with Konsultori is priceless. They provide a fresh perspective and, above all, expertise in areas where we had less experience.

Konsultori and Petra Wolkenstein are extremely professional. Her experience really helped us to get through the first funding round. We were thrilled that the documents and arguments which we produced in the preparations stage were so well received in our search for investors and during negotiations. I appreciated such a straightforward, hassle-free and honest partner who never forgot our goals and timeline. Without Konsultori, we’d never have managed to achieve everything within such a short space of time.

I just wanted to thank you for your time yesterday, it was so insightful and valuable – our discussion has given me a lot to think about that I wouldn’t have considered. I will reach out if I have any further questions and of course, update you with how everything goes (fingers crossed!).

Above all, the collaboration is reliable. That’s exactly what you need at the beginning: reliable partners who are there for you regularly and provide constant support. It also feels trusting and not like “off-the-peg counselling”.

Petra’s highly structured and positive approach proved to be golden for Goldkehlchen. Her multiple challenges and understanding of our business challenges made her an indispensable sparring partner in the consulting process. She joined us as a coach and remains with us as part of our extended team.

Working with Michael Kubiena was a really fruitful experience. He combines tons of experience and strong conceptual skills with a hands-on attitude: Exactly what we needed. Together we were able to create something entirely new & unique for the Turkish retail & hospitality industry as well as for the global Metro world, something which has become a reference point in terms of quality, innovation and customer focus. Michael not only was instrumental in designing our learning curriculum, he also successfully facilitated the development of our overall organization.

Thank you for the really excellent support and advice.

Our Ag-Tech Startup Accelerator always aims at having motivating speakers and workshops in order to develop the founders‘ skillsets further. Petra Wolkenstein held an incredibly informative and exciting negotiations workshop where everyone had a lot fun while taking away numerous learnings. I can highly recommend her negotiations workshop to everyone who needs to improve in this field.
