Built by entrepreneurs.
For entrepreneurs.
Schnell Consult partners with founders and business leaders through strategic advisory, venture building and selected investments.
Who we are
We combine decades of entrepreneurial experience with a hands-on approach to building, challenging and supporting businesses.
Schnell Consult is an owner-led family company, founded in 2003. We are not a classic consultancy, not a typical business angel, and not a traditional private-equity fund. We work with entrepreneurs in whichever role creates the most value — as sparring partner, as co-builder, or as investor.
What stays the same across every engagement: we put real entrepreneurial experience to work — to challenge assumptions, improve decisions and move companies forward. Fewer documents. Better decisions.
Three ways to work with us
The same experience.
Three forms of partnership.
AdviceStrategic Advisory
Direct access to experience and honest sparring — for concrete decisions, negotiations and strategic questions. Focused sessions, billed to the minute — no retainers, no minimums.
Learn more →BuildVenture Partnerships
We team up with ambitious founders early and build alongside them — contributing experience, time and network in exchange for a stake in what we create together.
Learn more →InvestPrincipal Investments
We invest our own capital, selectively, in companies and projects where experience and involvement can actively shape the outcome.
Learn more →How we work
No standard playbooks.
No unnecessary complexity.
We work directly, honestly and pragmatically — with personal responsibility and a long-term view. No project armies, no standardized decks, no theoretical answers.
Direct
We say what we think — especially when it is uncomfortable.
Entrepreneurial
We have founded, built and sold companies ourselves.
Pragmatic
Decisions over documents. Progress over process.
Long-term
We think in years and relationships, not in billable hours.
Personal
You work with us — not with a delegated project team.
Curious
New markets, new models, new technology — we stay students.
Experience
Companies founded, built and sold. Ventures backed from first pitch onwards.
Operating responsibility, international business, venture capital and incubation — and capital committed alongside conviction.
Figures from our own record — final wording and verification before launch. No superlatives without substance.
