Testimonials from founders, partners, and team members
We value the collaboration with NCA greatly. With Christoph and his team, we have a reliable partner at our side who supports us at all times - whether with sparring, open discussion of entrepreneurial challenges, or an intro. And this with an excellent understanding of the founder's side and the operational processes of a startup. Thank you very much for the excellent collaboration, dear Christoph!
Chris and the entire NCA team have greatly advanced me, my team, and my company, VANOZZA, through their generous support and involvement in events such as the Innovation Day and by providing valuable networking connections. His personal expertise as a founder and his helpful advice have been and continue to be extremely valuable to us. Thank you very much for the continuous support!
Chris is still an important part of my startup life today. He is always there when it comes to overcoming everyday hurdles. He is also a really good person outside of business. He always helps me exactly where I need help, whether it's simply listening, providing contacts or generating ideas on how to make the best of a situation that seems unsolvable. I would have given up several times if I hadn't had the encouraging and constructive sessions that ultimately made me better as a founder and also helped me as a person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
By far one of the most valuable experiences and support in my start-up journey. Not a investors who only give advice from above with nice sayings and strategies, but a real founder, who understands the practical approaches, can use his experience as a founder to advise on problems and suggest practical solutions and, if necessary, will spend hours on the phone with you at the weekend to help you deal with issues. Above all, not a mental burden but a mental support, even when it gets hot. Thank you for your trust and support Christoph!
I am very grateful and incredibly privileged to work with Chris. He has been an exceptional help during our acceleration program in Hamburg. I have no idea how he always manages to stay cool, calm and collected :) I profoundly admire his professionalism and ability to put himself in our shoes every time we needed his help. Thanks, Chris!
Christoph combines solid experience managing software teams with great people management skills. He creates empathy easily and he's emotionally strong - calm, assertive and smart. He knows specially well how to create a motivated team of developers (who respect him). Moreover, he has a business-oriented mentality and good instinct for appealing products. Top player, super recommended.
Christoph is a pleasure to work with because of his team building skills and his excellent, insightful work. I can highly recommend him for your team or project.
Christoph helped us both at 9flats.com and at Flio. Christoph's tech insights, his communication skills and his sheer scope of understanding a wide variety of technical and commercial subjects make him an asset to any company.
Chris was one of the best managers I've ever had. He combines excellent vision, leadership, expert knowledge, drive, and problem solving skills at every level. He is super involved, works hard, shields his team from distractions, and enables team members to shine, show their best side, and grow. Chris is an asset to any company.
Always a pleasure to work with Christoph because of his team building skills as well as his excellent, insightful work. His diverse background, his entrepreneurial spirit and his leadership skills have always inspired me and made me extremely excited to work along his side. In addition, his sense of humor and pleasant personality make him very likeable and easy to communicate with. Recommended!
Christoph is a great combination of a team manager with strong technical background. Understands the product and the business, experienced in managing multi-cultural team. He's a strong team player, knows when to speak and also when to listen carefully, when needed. It was a real pleasure to work with Chris, can highly recommend him.
Chris was an absolute pleasure to know and work with. His attention to detail and product knowledge helped FLIO to where it is now. He is also a strong team leader and has profound tech knowledge. What impressed me the most was his understanding between product and business, which is often hard to find in a product lead. Without a doubt, Chris would fill any product role presented to him, and be of true value to any startup or well established business.
Working with Chris is a relaxing experience. He retains the clear head when it comes to solving essential questions and finding the right communication to the teams and customers. His analytical capability and know-how in the project-development are great and adding immense value to every company. Under pressure Chris finds an acceptable first solution for every problem within a relatively short period of time, which takes the pressure out of the situation. Chris is working on targets as structured as I have rarely seen it so far. Highly recommended colleague and happy to work again with Chris anytime.
One of the things that you realize when working with Christoph is his ability to bring together people resulting in creating a great company culture. He bears great passion for technology, brings about great corporate results and possesses distinguishing people's skills. Always enjoyable working with him over a problem solution and feeling privileged to having worked with him.
Chris built up our engineering team at WunderCar from scratch. He decided on all kinds of technologies we implemented, hired the "creme de la creme" of programmers to develop the WunderCar app and had strong influence on how WunderCar is today. He is not only a great engineer himself, but also has great social and management skills, always being on top of new developments, very well informed and very hard working. He is a great person to talk things through and find ideas how to solve challenges or to handle difficult situations. Chris is a big value for every organization, I am proud to call him my colleague and can totally recommend him.
Christoph is a great person to work with. He has a broad and solid skill set ranging from team management to writing ruby code. He is very strong at communicating and mediating. As a developer I can say that Christoph has a profound knowledge in software development, architectures and operations. But he also is a very good team manager and knows well how to interact with different people and stakeholders. He is approaching problems in an analytical and cool-headed way. I really enjoyed working with Christoph and would highly recommend him.
