I am Sebastian Janus

Hey, I'm Sebastian - the head behind StartupCFO.

In 2005 I found a gap in the market - no online shops for shoes. That was the birth of Tredex, my first startup. In 2010, Runners Point Group took over the majority of Tredex and I remained on the group's boat as CFO. Seven years later, it was time for the big exit at Foot Locker.

The corporate world felt kind of tight and unfulfilling. I wanted to be an entrepreneur again and quit my secure job in 2017 - entrepreneurship was already my true passion back then and is still my true passion. In 2018, I founded my startup consultancy because I realized that startups face the same challenges over and over again: They would like to become an expert in everything. I would therefore like to share my practical expert knowledge through my all-in-one platform and make it accessible to everyone.
