Entrepreneur • Sparring Partner • AI Pioneer

You're an entrepreneur and
stuck?

No coach. An entrepreneur who made millions, lost millions - and knows how to come back.

Maik Schwede on stage - entrepreneur and sparring partner with 30+ years of experience

You know this feeling. You just don't talk about it.

You function on the outside. But inside you know: this can't go on.

You need an honest sparring partner who thinks on your level - not someone who nods.

You want to scale, but the structure can't keep up - processes, finances, team.

You make big decisions alone and wonder which blind spot you're missing.

You have an idea for something of your own, but no clear roadmap.

You need someone who knows every phase - building, growth, crisis, restart - from personal experience.

You built it. But who tells you where the blind spot is?

Not a coach who tells you what to do. Someone who understands what you're going through - because he lived it himself.

Maik Schwede - Work hard in silence, let your success be the noise

30+ Years of Entrepreneurship

Not a coach - an entrepreneur who didn't just survive a severe crisis, but knows how to go from zero to 8 figures. Lived practice, not theory.

What entrepreneurs really ask me

What is sparring and how does it work? +

It starts with a personal conversation - open, direct, eye to eye. We talk about your real challenges: strategy, finances, scaling, AI integration. No coaching script, just honest exchange. From there, we figure out if and how I can support you going forward.

Who is this for? +

For entrepreneurs, founders and self-employed people who are ready to take an honest look at their business and themselves. Whether you want to scale, are stuck in a crisis or want to build something of your own - if you're not looking for a yes-man but a real sparring partner, you're in the right place.

What does the initial session cost? +

The initial session is 30 minutes. You get real input - not a sales show. Afterwards, you decide if ongoing collaboration makes sense. Current pricing is on the appointment page.

Are you a coach? +

No. I'm an entrepreneur with 30+ years of experience. I survived a severe crisis, built multiple companies and use AI in real business operations. I don't coach - I think alongside you.

What can you help with? +

Everything that keeps entrepreneurs up at night: blind spots in strategy, tough decisions, scaling, realignment - or the step into self-employment. I bring experience from multiple industries and every business phase.

What results can I expect? +

Clarity. About your business, your next steps and the things you've been overlooking. My clients make better decisions, build more stable structures - and find the courage to do what they've known all along.

How do you use AI in your business? +

I have AI agents that manage my calendar, handle emails, conduct research and create content. Not as a gimmick, but as a real team. I write about this on the blog too.

Your business doesn't need a consultant.
It needs someone with the same scars.

30 minutes. No sales pitch. Just an entrepreneur who listens and thinks along.
