About Nora

Many startups fail not because of their idea –
but because they are not tangible to investors.

This is exactly where I come in.

I support early-stage startups in structuring their business model so that it is understandable, resilient, and investable. This goes beyond just pitch decks or financial models; it's about the big picture: strategy, story, and the logic behind it.

My perspective is deliberately dual:
I know the requirements of investors from working in a family office as well as the challenges on the founder side. This interface is often the crucial lever in fundraising.

I work analytically, structurally, and directly.
No superficial polishing, but a focus on what counts in real investor conversations.

Typical topics of my work include:
– Fundraising preparation and strategic alignment
– Structuring and sharpening business models
– Revision and realignment of pitch decks
– Early-stage company valuation
– Preparation for investor meetings

If you are preparing for a funding round or feel that your setup is not yet "sound," I will gladly help you create clarity.
