We won! Yesterday, MINTorin was selected as one of four winning ideas at the European Forum Alpbach Pitch Session in the Climate Track. I’m incredibly thankful to Franziska Kolk, who coached me via Wirtschaftsagentur Wien and helped me bring out the best in this pitch.
This is also your win!

Right now, I’m in the process of figuring out the right strategy to help my business continue to grow and thrive. The financial overview I created with Petra Wolkenstein from Konsultori is a great help in this regard. Because if I don’t have my finances under control, I can’t develop a strategy, let alone adapt it to the situation.

Working with Konsultori and Petra Wolkenstein throughout Series A and B financing rounds has been instrumental to our success. The team completely revamped our financial plan and pitch deck, integrating all products, business models, and historical and forward-looking planning. Petra’s extensive experience in negotiation tactics and driving complex M&A processes proved invaluable, ensuring that every step of our investor journey was well-prepared and professionally managed. It’s been extremely easy and highly professional to collaborate with Konsultori, and their support has paid off from day one, securing our next steps toward global expansion. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

We decided to work closely with Konsultori to implement the sale of our company strategically, and that was the right decision. Petra Wolkenstein guided us through the various phases of the process with her experience, clear structure, and in-depth M&A expertise. Her input helped us prepare important negotiation steps in a targeted manner and sharpen our positioning in line with our strategic goals. The structured development of a convincing deal framework – including financial data, narrative, and argumentation – as well as the targeted preparation for critical discussions with potential buyers, was particularly valuable. As the founding team, we were able to consistently implement our strategy while benefiting from Konsultori’s sound external perspective and methodological certainty. Startups that want to approach their exit in a well-founded manner will find Konsultori an excellent choice.

Adding more value to the day, Konsultori’s power-packed session on Scaling Readiness of startups was another meaningful & strategic event. Goal setting with OKRs, participatory leadership, employer branding, employee experience, employer & employee value proposition, people & culture readiness, hierarchy, operations readiness, go-to-market readiness and the smart RICE FACTOR engagement – REACH, IMPACT, CONFIDENCE & EFFORT. We shared a beautiful, interactive moment at ViennaUP, where our goals are aligned.

Thank you, Michael Kubiena! It was such a privilege to learn from you and Petra Wolkenstein! Plus, now I know whom to address scale-related topics.

The Scaling Readiness Lab from Konsultori showed how to get ready for growth and taught strategies to prepare your company and team for the moves. Most important: Product Market Fit.

As a young company, we faced the challenge of drawing up a convincing financial plan for investor meetings. With Petra’s support, we redesigned the entire financial plan, worked specifically on the structure, assumptions and calculation methods and were prepared for all queries. Her expertise and experience in M&A and startups were incredibly valuable. In the end, not only did we as founders have a clear roadmap, but we were also able to convince our investors and close a six-figure financing round.

Scaling Readiness Run is probably the best program any of us (in the founder team) has attended. Its well-structured sequence of sprints is carefully designed and balanced: Actionable content is paired with practical frameworks, many of which we have started to integrate into our practice. Particular highlights among those topics were Product-Market-Fit, OKRs and the Employee Value Proposition. As a result of Konsultori’s Scaling Readiness Run, we have already made significant progress across various scaling dimensions and will continue to do so.
