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. With ever-rising real estate prices, homeownership has become an unaffordable goal for many tenants. Properties are expensive and the majority of households do not have enough savings to put down a deposit for a bank loan to purchase the property. However, a high percentage of them is tired of renting and wants to buy. We developed a new asset class for this “Generation Rent”, which enables households to own their dream home within 5 years with a small deposit and full flexibility. Join us in our mission to make the path to homeownership as seamless and as fast as possible. For more details about MyHomely please have a look here.
