I write in your voice and build the things it lives in.
Your presence, your platform, your first product. And when there's research inside the product, the public money to pay for it, without giving up equity. One person, start to finish.
Who this is for
Founders and executives who need to sound like themselves in public, consistently, and don't have the hours. Some of you have a book in you. Some have a product idea sitting in a Notion doc. Some are sitting on a research question a university would love to answer and a funding programme would pay for. Most have a calendar that says no.
I work in English and German, from New York and Los Angeles, with roots in Graz.
Beyond writing
Most ghostwriters hand you a document. I hand you the thing the document lives in.
Voice. Essays, newsletters, LinkedIn, keynotes, the book. Written as you, not about you.
Presence. Positioning, bio, origin story, and the site people land on after they hear you speak.
Product. When your idea needs to be touched rather than described, I build the prototype. Working software, not a deck.
Funding. When your product rests on a research question, I find the programme, build the consortium and write the proposal. EU, Austrian and US non-dilutive money. You keep your cap table.
No agency, no handoffs, no junior writer behind the curtain. You talk to me; I do the work.
How I build
Validate before you build. Ship working software, not decks. Measure what the product does, not what the deck says. Treat research as an asset and fund it with other people's money.
The whole approach →How it works
01
Blueprint.
Two weeks, $2,500. Your voice guide, your positioning, a scope for the platform or prototype, one finished piece in your voice. If research money is on the table, a fifth document: a one-page funding map. Credited against the sprint if you continue.
02
Write & Build sprint.
Ninety days, $18,000. Site or prototype shipped, persona assets, twelve long-form pieces, your channel launched.
03
Voice on retainer.
$5,000 a month, three-month minimum. I keep writing, the presence stays alive, the product keeps moving.
04
Fund.
A proposal sprint when the funding map says go: single-applicant programmes from $9,000, consortium proposals from $15,000. Details on the Fund page.
05
The book.
From $40,000, six to nine months. For clients I've already worked with.
Where this comes from
I've been Head of Product at GutWise, a Norwegian gut-health app. I co-founded Relocate.World, the first independent marketplace for global migration, and SHÄP, a rent-anything marketplace launched in Manhattan in 2022. I ran ERC, a research consultancy that worked on Austrian government-funded security research with JOANNEUM RESEARCH and the Ministry of Defence. I founded AcademicAI, a writing SaaS, and two imprints, Forward Thinking Press and Uptown Press. Twelve years of writing in other people's voices runs through all of it.
