Deeptech success requires a GTM approach as innovative as the technology. I help tech founders 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 by replacing generic advice with the real-world "scar tissue" and execution experience earned from 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗡𝗬𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟬 𝘁𝗼 $𝟭𝟬𝗠+. I am also launching Switzerland’s first 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 to inject operator DNA back into the venture ecosystem.

--- WHAT I DO ---

𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗧𝗠 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿
I provide sharp, structured sparring for CEOs/GTM leaders when 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. I help you see around corners on building your 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 and 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, negotiating 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 and 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀, or designing 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 required to scale. I shift between sparring partner and hands-on execution to drive real outcomes.

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱
I am building a venture fund designed to channel the experience of 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱'𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 into the next generation of tech startups by providing founders direct access to an 𝘂𝗻𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 to avoid costly mistakes and scale faster.

--- LET'S TALK ---

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲? 
If you are looking to 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, build a 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲, or are seeking an 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 for your next round: let’s connect.

🇨🇭 SWISS #SCALEUP EXECUTIVES 🦄 Silently building Switzerland's most #powerful startup exec community 🚀

We met for another breakfast yesterday - we do those gatherings 2x/quarter. 

The CURATION:

✔️ Only Scaleups (10M revenues, 100 FTE, 30M+ funding, international)

✔️ Only Executices

✔️ No Exceptions 

Like that, already 180 execs in the community. Growing. 

The WHO IS WHO. (by merit, not ego).

If you think about it: Those are the decision makers of the biggest and most successful #startups of Switzerland 🥰

This is the group that builds companies that will shape Switzerland's economy of the #future 💪

Absolute amazing group - basically the lion's club / rotary club of the future ☺️

And what's next: Giving back experience to earlier stage startups in the ecosystem, with operators launching the Flywheel. 

2026 will be exciting, a lot is cooking :) stay tuned. 

Cheers

I am writing about industrial robots, technology, and a business mindset.

I am a genZ founder and visionary. I am here to inspire people.

At Robonnement, our mission is to make robots accessible for all factories, through an affordable subscription model.

We aim to contribute to a future where jobs are accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford expensive robotic technology.

I hope you find my posts inspiring.

This week I had the honor to participate at the IMD KI Update 2026 in THE HALL, one of the most professional AI events I have attended so far.

I spoke about a point that often gets underestimated when companies implement robotics or AI. These technologies fundamentally change how value is created inside an organization.

That makes AI and robotics a strategic topic.
And strategic topics belong to leadership.

This is not an IT department project.
It is not something to be delegated and reviewed later. Every serious AI or robotics implementation reshapes processes, roles, decision making, and culture. 

That requires direct involvement from leaders.

I also shared stories from the field. 

Over the past five years, we have implemented robots for the first time in many companies. 
I have seen projects fail. 
I have seen others succeed remarkably well. 
The difference was rarely the technology. 
It was leadership, ownership, and clarity.

What made this event special was the audience. Many CEOs and decision makers in one room, openly discussing where we are right now as an economy and as a society.

I strongly believe that if we understand the moment in history we are standing in, we can use technology, AI, and robotics to build something meaningful for the future.

Grateful for the conversations, the feedback, and the openness in the room.

Many thanks to Aline Baumann and her Team from FE Agentur and Echo Group for organising this. 

It was an honor to share the stage with Antje Kanngiesser, Daniel Bischofberger, Daniel Bossard, Sami Arpa, Pascal Kaufmann, Federico Patota, Marc Holitscher, Daniel S. Ehmann, Cornelia Diethelm, Barnaby Skinner and my fried Prafull Sharma.

And many thanks for the moderation Stefan Michel and Tanya König.

It’s been an honor to represent our vision from Robonnement and have many investors and shareholders in the audience. Love you all.

This podcast with me reached over 37K views in less than 3 months. That’s how I did it and what I’ve learned about personal branding.

In the last years, I struggled a lot with personal branding until I understood these 4 essential things that fueled my success and raised my visibility throughout Europe, from Forbes Magazine all the way to major TV shows.

This post will take approximately 2.4 minutes to read. 
I can guarantee that you will be well rewarded for your 2.4 minutes of reading. 

1. Stop focusing on the numbers.

You got only 200 views and 2 likes on your first LinkedIn posts? Good. Guess what.
200 people saw what you wrote, and even with the worst content, you still had the attention of at least 10 to 20 percent of them.
2 even clicked like.
10 percent of 200 is still way more than 0.
Keep going. Keep exploring.

2. Don’t split authenticity from relevance.

While authenticity is the only way you should create content, don’t forget relevance.
Is what you’re trying to say truly relevant for your audience?
Could a 12 year old understand your content as well?
Is the message you’re trying to write worth sharing?

3. Be professional with the creatives.

Ask ChatGPT. Do a crash course on editing.
Ugly pictures, blurry videos, or an unprofessional appearance are not hooks strong enough to make someone stop and click on “read more” or play the video.
If the picture is ugly, the content is probably messy as well.
Why should I put my time into reading it?

4. When people interact, it means:

I am having the exact same thoughts or experiences, but this content is put into the perfect words.
The algorithm recognizes that fast.
It pushes your content.
The right audience sees it.
You’re in the spotlight and can share your message with the world.

You probably won’t get to 37K views on your first podcast.
It took me 5 years to get here.
Other people get to millions in days.
I feel small watching them.
You probably feel small watching me.

Just keep going.
Share a message worth sharing with the world.
Spend some time learning how to share it.
Copywriting, editing, you can learn anything in a few days nowadays.

Imagine the 200 people physically in a room.
Write from your heart.
Keep going.
Make this world a better place.

If you feel your 2.4 Minutes of time were well invested, hit a share button. It helps me get to more people and pursue my own mission.

Warum Roboterprojekte bei Lock GmbH so gut funktionieren:

Joachim Wiedergrün und sein Team von Lock GmbH  haben etwas geschafft, woran viele deutlich größere Unternehmen scheitern.

Nicht, weil sie mehr Budget hatten.
Nicht, weil sie bessere Roboter hatten.

Sondern weil sie Robotik als das verstanden haben, was sie wirklich ist: eine Führungsaufgabe.

Heute sind bei Lock über 95 Prozent des Lackierprozesses vollständig robotisiert. Zwei Roboter betreiben zwei Kabinen vollautomatisch. 

Früher waren dafür mehrere Lackierer pro Schicht nötig. Manuell wäre diese Menge und Qualität heute weder realistisch noch gewollt.

Der entscheidende Punkt liegt aber nicht in der Technik.

Der Wendepunkt kam, als klar wurde:
Ein Roboter ist kein neues Werkzeug.
Er verändert Abläufe, Rollen, Verantwortung und Wertschöpfung.

Deshalb wurde das Projekt nicht an eine Abteilung delegiert.
Der Betriebsleiter ist persönlich in das Projekt gegangen.
Operativ. 
Nah am Team. 
Nah an den Entscheidungen.

Genau hier scheitern viele erste Roboterprojekte.
Die Technik ist da. 
Die Herausforderungen sind bekannt.
Aber die Führung bleibt zu weit weg.

Lock hat es anders gemacht.
Und genau deshalb funktioniert es.

Seit Jahren sehen wir, wie sich dieses Unternehmen entwickelt.
Klare Prozesse. 
Saubere Umsetzung. 
Starkes Teamgefühl.
Auch große Industrieunternehmen waren vor Ort und beeindruckt.

Für mich ist Lock ein Beispiel dafür, wie KMUs Robotik richtig angehen können.
Nicht durch Perfektion.
Sondern durch Verantwortung, Nähe und Führung.

Wer Robotik einführen will, muss zuerst selbst ins Projekt gehen.
Alles andere ist Wunschdenken und wird nicht optimal umgesetzt.
