Mentor since 2016 — selective involvement in the Berlin accelerator environment.
Context
Axel Springer Plug and Play is a Berlin-based accelerator that emerged from the joint venture between Axel Springer and Plug and Play Tech Center. The focus is on B2B, media, and adjacent tech start-ups in early stages. Listed as a mentor since 2016 — actual involvement is occasional and on request, focused on individual teams or single sessions when topic and timing fit. No fixed cohort quota, no regular mentor rhythm.
Contribution
Mentor role without capital participation. Focus areas: enterprise sales, technology strategy, transition into operational scaling — here with a stronger media and publishing context through the Axel Springer connection.
