ABOUT FLORIAN SCHÖNE
In every role I\'ve held, I ended up owning the numbers such as building financial models, preparing board decks, running data rooms. Never because it was in my job description.Always because I just enjoy working with numbers.Finance is where everything comes together: strategy, funding, revenue, budgets, hiring, and operations.At Volocopter through its major growth phase and then as Head of Operations at Kipu Quantum, I worked on the finance and operating systems that startups need but rarely have:• Financial modeling, forecasting & budgeting, investor & board reporting• Fundraising operations & due diligence readiness• Operational scaling: systems, processes, and tools that hold up under growth• Clear definitions & reconciliation across pipeline, revenue, cash, and forecastI like lightweight systems that make reporting boring and decisions fast, even with limited time and high load.PhD in Economics & AI. Angel investor in early-stage tech.Always happy to talk about building finance functions from scratch.
