We offer company building as a service. A mix of strategic consulting and support in operational implementation, tailored to startups, scaleups and companies. While we accompany startups on their journey from the founding initiative to market entry, we focus on process optimisation, automation and investor matching in scale-ups. We reinvent established companies with matchmaking, intrapreneur programmes and external innovation formats.
Our strength: action, not words! Instead of endless PowerPoint presentations, we take a hands-on approach and always focus on our clients’ business goals. Whether startups or established companies – we know both worlds and have an excellent network in a wide range of industries. We always work in partnership at C-level. Together with the board and management, we not only develop tailor-made ideas, but also actively implement them.
CO-BUILDING is your partner for building a sustainably successful startup. From A to Z, we work with you to turn your business idea into a successful company. Our expertise helps you accelerate the startup process, avoid typical pitfalls and guide your company to a smooth market entry. When partnering with startups, we always work in a cost-sensitive manner and with a clear focus on product-market fit and scalability. We offer a complete package from IT to marketing, from product to process, from communication to HR – financial and investment consulting. In-depth information on legal issues and framework conditions are also among our core competencies for startups.
We give your scaleup the ultimate boost. Our specialities for scaleups: process analysis, automation and comprehensive support for future financing rounds. This is how we set the course for an exciting and, above all, successful journey as a company – including scaling effects.
We cultivate a new spirit of innovation in established companies. A mixture of internal and external value creation reinvents existing companies. Through matchmaking, we bring tomorrow’s trends into companies by establishing a direct line to the startups and people behind these trends after systematic scouting. With our intrapreneur programme, we turn employees into entrepreneurs within the company, drawing on our expertise in building new structures. Or we use our strong network of startups, talent and technologies to build an innovation speedboat, an external innovation hub. This enables us to unleash maximum innovative power.
We are COBIES. Collaborative consultants. Experienced entrepreneurs. Exceptional project managers. Discreet matchmakers. Founded in 2021 after more than a decade of entrepreneurial experience in Frankfurt am Main, CO_BUILDING is characterised by a unique and multidisciplinary team. Despite our different backgrounds, we are united by an irrepressible spirit of innovation, a love of communication and a values-based approach to work.
We think and act like entrepreneurs. We are convinced that there is a solution to every problem. We always have the courage to question established ways of thinking and, if necessary, to break with them. We think and work strategically, are goal-oriented and get things done. The entrepreneurial spirit is deeply rooted in every COBIE.
We don’t have customers, we have partners. What does that mean? We pass on our knowledge to you in a targeted manner and develop solutions together. Always at C-level, but always in a spirit of partnership. We work on the basis of data, with above-average quality standards, and focus on open, transparent communication.
Erfolgreiche Unternehmen brauchen eine Synergie aus Innovationsgeist und Erfahrung. Wir sorgen dafür, dass von der Idee bis zur Umsetzung alles so reibungslos und effizient wie möglich abläuft. Dabei haben wir immer ein klares Ziel vor Augen, setzen gemeinsam Prioritäten und pflegen ein agiles, aber durchdachtes Zeit- und Aufgabenmanagement. Planvolles Handeln mit der nötigen Flexibilität statt blindem Aktionismus – das ist unsere Devise.
In the right place at the right time. Through individual matchmaking, we connect you with our exciting network to create unique synergies. We have a keen sense for finding the right matches that benefit all parties. Because we are convinced that the best solutions can only be developed together.
In our work as company builders, we are guided by our four core values in every situation. We cultivate transparency as the basis for fair and effective communication. We work efficiently to use precious time and valuable resources for the greatest possible impact. We act responsibly, create freedom and set clear boundaries.
And last but not least, we are guided by the value of continuous development. We are curious free spirits and reflective critics, fuelled by the continuous development of people, ideas and companies.
We have demonstrated our skills, expertise and sensitivity to markets and opportunities in numerous projects – whether regional or international, sustainable fashion brands or online pharmacies.

A company builder supports startups, scaleups and corporates in their mission with exactly what they need. In doing so, it can be a mentor, networker, innovation promoter, doer and much more. The company builder differs from an incubator, which is limited to supporting startups in their early stages, and from an accelerator, which drives the scaling of already established companies, in its holistic approach.
We adapt our business model flexibly to the given conditions. This means that our valuable work can be remunerated through a traditional consulting fee or – usually in the case of newly founded companies – through proportional co-ownership.
Since our founding in Frankfurt am Main in 2021, we have demonstrated our skills, expertise and sensitivity to markets and opportunities in numerous projects. From regional to national, we support startups, scaleups and corporates from a wide range of industries – from modern RFID startups to online pharmacies.
At CO_BUILDING, we want to make success repeatable. Inspired by entrepreneurial efficiency, we have turned our past best practices into tools. The result is methods, concepts, market patterns, processes and concrete templates that are tailored to our customers’ needs and continuously refined. We benefit from our in-depth knowledge of a wide range of industries and corporate environments, from startups to large corporations.
