Coaching for people building and backing startups: career transitions, leadership decisions, and the messy middle.

If you're a founder or investor at a career inflection point - weighing a transition, stepping into a new leadership role, or just feeling stuck - that's exactly where I work.

Let's speak

MY AREAS

Startups | VC | PE

Sweet Spot:

VC, PE, and early-stage startups.

Clients book me for:

Gaining clarity for their next steps, reducing stress in transitioning phases in careers, and making better decisions true to your values.

What makes me unique:

I've been inside the ecosystem - as an IC, in VC, in executive search. I coach from the inside, not from the outside looking in.

I coach in English or German.

Have a challenge? Let's book a call.

CEO & Founder

After selling my company, Franzi helped me to move beyond a sense of disorientation and make clear decisions on three fronts simultaneously: what role I really want, how I’ll set up a new business, and how I can be truly there for my family whilst doing so.

The tools Franzi gave me for clear and efficient communication

were extremely helpful in setting boundaries early on, defending my point of view, and developing myself personally as a result.

I am super grateful for meeting Franzi and for the dynamic projects we worked on with great outcome.
