Testimonials_Slide07_Konstantin Christoff

Our partnership with Eleven is resembling more of a life partner relationship: leading and inspiring by example, advising out of own experience rather than theories, supporting financially, opening a wealth of contacts, investors, clients and ecosystem platforms, channelling valuable and relevant knowledge our way. They have the experience to evaluate the early risk, share the same mindset of the entrepreneurs they team up with and know personally the struggle of starting something from 0 and making it a successful reality.

True Insights

True Insights, struggled to set its fundamentals and get ready to go to market with a clear vision of its ideal customer persona and main product offering. We helped them pinpoint their problem-solution fit, which is the first step to PMF, helped them run several sales related experiments to discover their Ideal Customer Persona and now see their first sales results four months later.

MyTeam

We started supporting MyTeam at a very early stage of their company development - from setting up the right legal and governance structure to shaping their vision on becoming a comprehensive platform for sports clubs management, leveraging the fintech layer and building an ecosystem that can create additional revenue streams and stickiness with their customers. They have increased their sales team, grown their customer base with double digits and see no churn in the span of less than 6 months.

Native Teams

Native Teams encountered a problem many early-stage startups building a product with high demand often do - their growth was faster than their ability to scale their team. We supported them in hiring key positions such as COO and CFO and helped them find the right balance between the roles in the founding team. Moreover, the work we did with them on their strategy and our help in building their fintech layer created a more robust company that is being courted by high profile VCs as they are preparing their Series A round.

Flaminjoy

In order to help Flaminjoy optimize its sales processes and decrease the sales cycles, we conducted weekly Sales Board Meetings with the founding and sales teams. As a result, the team was able to improve its sales funnel, generate new ideas, and come up with a structured sales approach. This led to 2x increase in their MRR, decrease in their burn rate and pass break-even.

PlanDelta

With our help, PlanDelta raised a €2.3M round led by the international early-stage VC RTP Global, which has backed companies such as SumUp and Delivery Hero. The team had multiple strategy meetings with us and we supported them in the identification of their ideal next investor, as well as multiple intros to other VCs.
