A Different Way to Build

Hi, I'm Sebastian đź‘‹

I've walked the traditional startup path. Co-founded Wunderlist (acquired by Microsoft), built ottonova (Germany's first digital health insurance), and lived the whole venture-backed startup life.

And you know what? While I'm grateful for those experiences, I've seen too many founders—myself included—burn out chasing other people's definitions of success.

Here's What I've Learned

The "traditional" startup path isn't the only way anymore. Actually, it's often not even the best way.

I've watched solo founders and tiny teams build incredible companies using:

  • AI tools that work like entire departments
  • No-code solutions that replace dev teams
  • Global talent networks that make anything possible
  • Automation that runs their business while they sleep

They're not just building profitable companies—they're building the lives they actually want.

The Game Has Changed

Ten years ago, you needed venture capital, huge teams, and endless meetings to build something meaningful.

Not anymore.

Today's indie founders are building sustainable businesses without compromising their values:

  • Building million-dollar companies solo
  • Launching products in weeks, not years
  • Keeping 100% ownership of their vision
  • Actually enjoying the journey

Why I Built Superfounder

I've always been obsessed with finding the best tools, talents, and tactics for building dream businesses. It's my superpower—I love discovering and testing everything that could give founders an edge.

But I realized something: Most of the really good stuff, the tools and strategies that actually work, never make it to the usual startup blogs or podcasts.

So I decided to change that.

What Superfounder Is Now

Superfounder is your unfair advantage—a carefully curated collection of:

  • Game-changing AI tools that multiply your output
  • Hidden shortcuts that save you months
  • Proven systems that actually work
  • Amazing talents who can help realize your vision
  • Strategies that keep you sane while you build

What I Believe

  • You shouldn't have to sacrifice your life to build something meaningful
  • One person with the right tools can outperform entire teams
  • Building a business should be exciting, not exhausting
  • The best ideas come from anywhere, not just Silicon Valley
  • Success shouldn't require burnout
