We are Stryber – the largest independent corporate portfolio builder in the DACH region. We help our clients launch new digital ventures from scratch (and fix the strategy behind it) as well as build our own ventures.

Our Approach. We build web/mobile prototypes and MVPs to test and iterate business ideas quickly in the market. Later, we scale and grow the most promising ones to let them become leading solutions in their market.

This is where you come in. We carve out several successful MVPs per year into separate legal entities, hire a dedicated management team, and raise an investment round, giving the venture the best chance to become the next European unicorn!
You join our interim venture team to validate the business case and generate first transactions. Together we find and build the co-founders team and carve out the business into a separate legal entity. Then in your role as the CEO of the company, you are responsible for achieving a product-market fit, raising a seed investment round within the first 6-12 months and continue to grow and scale the business and team.

The venture. Rental processes can be time-consuming, nerve-racking and complicated for tenants as well as homeowners. We enable homeowners to rent their apartment directly and to receive a secure rent payment every month without having to worry about anything: we take care of all marketing, administration, management and repair work. Join our mission to disrupt a €70 billion market in Germany alone.

As Co-Founder you are part of the founding team and in the role of the CEO you are fully responsible for the strategy and growth of the company – build a scalable kick-ass team, ensure continued business growth, cultivate partnerships and close investor relations. This role includes:

• Development of the company’s short- and long-term strategy, vision and mission
• Preparing and closing a seed funding round right after the start as fast as possible (we will support and provide you with access to our network of investors),  and building strong relationships with your investors
• Acquiring further clients (homeowners – private as well as institutional)
• Overseeing the company’s business operations to ensure the company has effective operational and financial procedures in place
• Owning and monitoring the finances (top / bottom line) and managing the cashflow cautiously, tracking revenue targets among others
• Recruiting and developing the best talent for your company
• Maintaining awareness of the competitive market landscape, expansion opportunities, industry developments, etc.
• Being an “evangelist” for the company at conferences, events, etc. and establishing strategic partnerships
• Developing the digital product further
• Being able to pay in your share capital amount (typically between 6.000€ and 7.500€)

Together with your co-founders (COO, CPO) you will own the majority of the company, so this a real founder opportunity. We are an investor and not protecting the founders from default risks and challenges that come with starting a company (e.g. running out of cash).

The setup is equal to that of any startup, but with us you already get a proven idea with initial traction, co-founders, some small starting capital, and access to our network and expertises. Read more here.
