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? +

199 EUR for 30 minutes. You get real input, not a sales show. Afterwards, you decide if working together makes sense. Packages start at 10 hours, no subscription. You can book directly 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.
