Hi. I'm Hagen.

Serial technical founder.

I turn ideas into companies — solo start, first customers, product-market fit, team. Then I do it again. Between ventures I work with founders as a technical partner or advisor.

Have an idea worth building?

I'm open to co-founding, consulting, and advisory roles — for early-stage ventures and established companies alike. If you feel like nestfainder.ai is something you want to be part of in any shape or form, I'd love to hear from you.
