FOUNDER VENTURES
I build for myself,
as well as for you.
BudApp and FirstLook put my own judgement to the test. Product decisions, launch, feedback and growth - not just the handover.

Commercial head.
Builder’s hands.
I’m Christian. Twenty years in technology marketing now sit alongside hands-on product development. I think about who will use something, why they’ll care and how it will reach them - while I’m building it.
What I learned in that short meeting was that the answer to my questions has as much to do with mindset as it does execution.
