A good feeling when founding

With questions and ignorance also comes a lot of uncertainty. Especially in the beginning. The VC gave me the basics and security I was looking for when starting up.

First Founder from Cologne

Excellent lawyer and entrepreneur

“What counts in the venture world is speed. As an excellent lawyer, Daniel deeply understands the needs of start-ups and investors. Efficiently and effectively, he is finding new ways and solutions”.

Sigune Suttner

CEO StraightWalk

All prejudices about lawyers have been eliminated

"I can recommend a cooperation with Daniel to every (young) founder, as the advice is in the best interest of the start-up and leads to the best results. Thank you very much for the great conversations."

Anastasia Barner

CEO Fementor

Mr. Donhauser convinces with strategy & design

"Daniel Donhauser's expertise and bird's eye view preparation always made me feel well prepared in negotiations. He understands how to implement the needs of founders."

Maximilian Block

Founder Advocado

Prof. Dr. Thomas Fritz

Ich wünschte wir hätten Herrn Donhauser früher gekannt.
