Jan is a serial entrepreneur and hands-on CTO who spent the past decade in London building and scaling startups across logistics, e-commerce, and biotech. After co-founding two companies and leading teams from zero to 60+, he returned to Berlin to join Earlybird as VP Engineering.

Jan leads the investor intelligence platform, bringing together product, data, and engineering to help the firm spot Europe’s best founders earlier. It’s the right place for him: founder-centric at its core, mission-driven to empower entrepreneurs, and ambitious about reshaping how venture capital operates.

His journey spans securing $92M in Series B funding, scaling supply chain and biotech platforms, and building resilient engineering cultures. Earlybird lets him channel that experience into a bigger mission: strengthening Europe’s startup ecosystem by giving bold founders the edge they need to succeed.
