Customer feedback
Rainer Hoffmann
As an advisory board member in a high-tech start-up, I supported Ulrich as chairman of the advisory board and Terje as managing director in the strategic direction and vision of the company. Both are characterized as excellent leaders with great strategic vision and strong implementation skills.
Andreas von Richter
Guido and Ulrich have deeply analyzed one of our portfolio start-ups in a very short time. Their evaluation and strategic recommendations were ‘straight to the point’, focused and hands-on. I am already looking forward to further projects with boost4S.
Michael May
Ulrich and Terje were tasked with taking a critical look at our company from the perspective of an external investor and provide us with strategies on how we can develop Taledo further. Their analysis and recommendations were razor-sharp and fact-based. Despite the sensitive nature of the topic, the collaboration was always very pragmatic and based on great trust.
Dr. Mathias Müller
Terje was instrumental in helping us to strategically and operationally realign the company in the shortest possible time. Based on his entrepreneurial spirit, he was able to systematically optimize the cost structure in all areas without losing customers or disrupting supply chains.
Frank Egle
As founders of UNWARE, we enlisted the support of boost4S to develop the best strategic mix of
investor funds and customer returns. Terje and Ulrich did a very good job. They conducted a solid analysis of the business model, technology, market, and relevant competitors in a short amount of time. With the results from boost4S, we are very well equipped for the future.
