I'm Alexander Thiel
he/they. Founder, CTO, Adviser, Consultant.
About Me
I thrive when solving complex problems. I'm happy, committed, ambitious and sociable. I create space to be awesome for my teams. I scaled several startups as CTO and just took a climate sabbatical, creating impact with key players in the space.
I build caring high-performance environments. You'll want to work with me if you need an experienced CTO, strategic advise, or a great product. I regularly do due diligences and assess founding teams. I mentor on and co-create strategy, go-to-market, product, software architecture, team setup, leadership, and personal development.
As a kid, I enjoyed programming computer games. Today, I still love rolling up my sleeves to build elegant software.
I enjoy traveling, dancing, reading, and conversations about crypto, the climate, our social fabric, and the coming discontinuities.
CTO & Co-Founder
I help shape company-strategy and translate it into product/tech strategy and a fast-moving tech org, empowering tech teams and leaders to build user-centric software that scales.
(Technical) Due Dilligence
I work with investors and funds to scrutinize startups' team, business model, and their ability to deliver the technolgy needed to succeed.
Startup Mentoring
I help hackathons and company builders support their startups and identify most promising investment candidates.
Architecture & Code
Startups need software that fits their growth. I've built prototypes, led the long-term migration and refactoring projects and built cuting-edge reactive microservice architectures when needed.
Tech Recruitment
Recruitment is the first step in a continuous personal development process. Top talent demands not just a good product and modern technologies but also an inclusive culture and regular and frequent feedback and goal setting.
Climate Systems Thinker
I spent two years working with the world's most impactful activists, scientists, and founders to build a comprehensive understanding on what technical and cultural pathways have positive climate impact; and which ones don't.
