Success Stories

"Helped a SAAS Fintech platform with the value proposition, with VC's telling us that we turned the opportunity into a potential unicorn"

"Turned an M&A roll-up from $10M to $50M USD, unlocking growth the founder didn’t think was possible"

Jeremy Yencer

Founder of MindfulBuddy.ai

Working with Nico has been a game changer for me and for Mindful Buddy. From the start, he helped me see my pitch through the eyes of an investor. He guided me in refining my message, tightening up my deck, and making sure every detail aligned with the bigger vision. Nico’s feedback is thoughtful and direct, and he has a way of helping you stay true to your mission while making it resonate with the people who matter most.

Beyond the pitch, Nico has helped me grow as a founder. He brings a calming presence and sharp insight into every conversation. Whether it’s coaching, improving deliverables, or connecting with potential investors, Nico shows up with clarity and intention. If you’re a founder preparing to raise or just looking to build something real, Nico is someone you want in your corner

Dr. Richard Johnsson

Founder, Clearitt

Working with Nico has been a game-changer for us. He helped sharpen our value proposition with a completely fresh perspective, bringing clarity and precision where it was most needed.

His ability to ideate and navigate the startup landscape is exceptional, and he’s added real value to how we think and operate as a team. Beyond that, he’s actively facilitating investor introductions — including some impressive, high-caliber names.

We’re grateful to have him in our corner

Damon

Start-up Founder

Nico has been a transformational force across so many areas of my journey — from mindset and business skills to time management. One of the unexpected gems was his deep insight into stakeholder relationships, which proved to be invaluable.

Without his mentoring, our growth would have been much slower. With him by my side, I was not only able to expand the business but also step into the best version of myself. He’s the real deal, a true all-rounder, grounded, and deeply committed.

I highly recommend Nico to anyone serious about leveling up and changing their game.

He's an amazing guy to have in your life and will definitely support you, both my wife and I are forever grateful.
