Hi, my name is Klaus Breyer.

Klaus Breyer

I am a CTO and Startup Founder/Advisor, living in Berlin.

If you want to launch a tech company or a digital product, we should talk. I offer MVP Sprints, build the first version of a software by myself and also, later on, the team around it. 

For startups in the scaling phase, I am available as an advisory board member for permanent sparring, but can also fill the CTO position for a limited time. 

Profile

I do not only build software, I take ownership – being a startup founder and good technical all-rounder with 10 years of experience (Agency / SaaS / B2B / B2C / E-Commerce / Apps). 

My founding experience allows me to bring in a lot of knowledge at the beginning of a product or company, during the strategy phase. And through my technical side, I am also experienced with the implementation phase. As a social type and good all-rounder, I can also talk to all trades and experts in between (product, design, marketing, operations), steer them and provide input. 

But most of all, I love to actually build stuff for the web by myself. 

For mobiles, desktops and clouds.

Philosophy

Good software is always used but never finished.

The goal is to always build the next v01. In software and in life. Zen philosophy puts it like: Nothing exists in its present form or color except in this moment. A beginners mind is free of any possessions, as it knows that all is in a state of fluid change.
