Did you know?

Most startups fail because their culture, communication and leadership styles have massive gaps between expectation and experience....

 

  • Do you want to build successful teams that perform, are highly engaged and want to stay in your company, no matter what

  • Do you want to offer a clear (conflict) communication, improve on the leadership and development side and max out your co-founder communication and decision-making process

If this sounds like you - we should talk!

Building Connections

Congratulations - you're growing!

Do you want to:

  • build teams that perform and are highly engaged?

  • attract people to your teams, who stay?

  • inspire your employees to grow alongside with you?

 

The essence of Employer Branding is to build places, where people feel they belong. I have built brands and places like Amazon, where people felt they belong. If you want to take the short-cut. Let's build your cultureOS - together!

Are you:

cultureOS

Build the Culture Your Startup Deserves (Before It’s Too Late) 👀 

Culture isn’t a vibe. It’s a system. Let’s install yours.

 

A plug-and-play culture toolkit (playbook + templates) for startups who want to scale without a team that implodes. 

Let’s be honest: most startup “culture” happens by accident - until your first hire quits, your new VP goes rogue or the team forgets why they’re even here.

My cultureOS Starter Kit gives you the structure, systems, and rituals to scale your team with clarity - without needing a full-time People Lead. It also caters to co-founder communication as this is the one of the main reasons startups fail. 

What You Get (And Why You’ll Care)

Listen, up to 90% of startups fail due to culture and leadership reasons. Growing, getting money and customers in, finding product-market-fit etc is tough enough, right? 

If you say no time for this - it will cost you later (big time.)

If you say we're too small/early for this - the first hires matter! I wrote in depth on substack about this  - read here.

Culture sounds soft and unnecessary. And a lot of first-time founders treat it like “we’ll deal with that when we’re 20 people.”

Most startups don’t die from bad ideas. They die from broken teams.

  • Misaligned hires

  • Chaotic onboarding

  • No feedback culture

  • Burned-out founders

  • Brilliant jerks killing momentum

Culture isn’t about mission statements. It’s about daily systems, leadership rituals, and the way your team actually works.

 1. Culture Blueprint

Your founding team’s values translated into behaviors, rituals, and decision frameworks. “We know who we are, and how we work - now every hire does too.”

2. Hiring Playbook

Role templates, interview scorecards, and culture-fit filters built for speed and signal. “Our job descriptions don’t sound like everyone else’s. We attract the right people now and know where to find them.”

3. 30/60/90 Onboarding Plans

Pre-built onboarding templates - one for ICs, one for new leaders. Personalized to your company DNA. “Our new hires are productive in week one. No more onboarding roulette.”

4. Retention Rituals & Team Routines

Plug-and-play meeting agendas, feedback loops, and recognition systems. “We now have culture rituals - not just Slack emojis.”

5. Mini Leadership Toolkit

Founders and first-time managers get a crash course in leading with intention. “We didn’t need an HR department. We needed this.”

6. Templates

People joining companies, not knowing where to start. Founders not knowing how to keep them engaged, just deciding with the gut instinct, is never an efficient way. “We couldn’t afford loosing more time and money. This was a game changer.”

Who It’s For:

✅ Pre-Seed to Series A startup founders (for scaleups/companies go here)
✅ Team size: 5 - 50
✅ Recently hired or planning to
✅ Wanting to scale without politics, churn, or confusion
✅ Know culture matters, but don’t have time to reinvent it

✅ Want real performance systems, not fuzzy values decks

We plugged in the cultureOS kit and it immediately saved us hours. Our onboarding was chaos before - now we actually have a system.

Unleash Your Potential With cultureOS

Become a talent magnet, build a high performing team and create leaders people love following. I have developed a 5 R-method based on scaling operations within Amazon, being an early leader and working with other big corporates in the industry

This is what you want to avoid:

🚫 New hires take too long to ramp up.

🚫 Culture gets fuzzy as the team expands.

🚫 Turnover is expensive and demoralizing.

🚫 Leaders are firefighting instead of leading.

Numbers & Data

15K

save attrition costs

Ad spent, time-2-hire, onboarding, loss in productivity - in average a bad hire costs you up to 15K€ - worth saving? 

20%

increase your conversion

A healthy rate is around 20%. Most ppl don't track this but how much time do you have to interview the wrong people?

3 Months

until fully onboarded

No time, learn to swim in cold water - is costing you big time. In average ppl take up to a year to be fully onboarded.

Priceless

creating tribes

Imagine people want to work for you, are highly engaged, perform well and referring your company - a win-win!
