“Without a system, you will reach a growth ceiling—whether at 1M, 3M, or 5M ARR. It's inevitable.”
— Björn W. Schäfer
The Founder's Growth Paradox
Your early success is both - your greatest strength and your ultimate limitation. The skills that got you here today prevent you from reaching the next growth level.
🚩 You're the primary sales engine, closing every critical deal
🚩 Your network and personal relationships drive most of the revenue
🚩 Team relies on your direct intervention for complex sales
🚩 Growth feels increasingly manual and exhausting
The Inevitable Plateau
Every founder reaches a point where personal heroics can't drive growth. Your business becomes a bottleneck, constrained by your individual capacity.
If you’re reading this, you probably know exactly what I am talking about.
So – it’s time to build new systems, shall we?
Hi, I’m Björn.
I help you transform your B2B startup from a founder-dependent hustle into a world-class, systemised growth machine.
Over the last ten years, I’ve had the privilege of shaping the growth journeys of more than 150 B2B startups from Pre-Seed to Series B in the DACH region and beyond.
As host …. and author …. you could argue that I surely know my stuff. However, former clients hired me for a different reason.
Primarily, they hired me because I know what I’m talking about from practical experience.
I’m not a talker; I’m a doer.
