Description
Advise. Invest. Build. Meet ALAIKA — a new kind of Financial Services firm — globally scaling, headquartered in Munich. The work is hard. The bar is high. Partner in 3-4 years possible , for the ones who can keep up and actually build a business themselves on our platform.
Stop reading if any of these describe you:
Specialisation. You are a generalist with shallow expertise and a thin network → AI will eat your lunch. We bet on depth.
Ownership. You would rather oversee than own → We fall in love with problems. Own them. Solve them. Ship solutions.
Speed. Slow is your default → Speed compounds. Be smart and brave enough to select 80/20 in the right way.
Mindset. " Not possible " is part of your vocabulary → We hire people who always find a way.
Still there? Then ALAIKA might be for you.
At ALAIKA, our vision is to build the future of Financial Services with three brands under one roof — Advisory (Strategy Consulting), Capital (Private Equity), Building (Company Builder). Right now, we are in the midst of building our trojan horse ALAIKA Advisory.
The ambition: building the leading Financial-Services-specific entrepreneurial holding — Fortune 500 access, PE discipline, Silicon Valley technology-depth and thinking. Three networks that compound and multiply.
One industry. Financial Services. Nothing else.
One focus. The intersection of business and technology — across Strategic Transformations, AI & Data Intelligence, and Cybersecurity.
One goal. Being the go-to partner for the world's leading Fortune 500 financial services companies — and the ones we might help build into that.
Founded in October 2022 by Johanna von Geyr (build-up and led Financial Services Practice for a NASDAQ-listed strategy consultancy) and Harald Braunstein (serial entrepreneur with exits incl. IPO), we bring together deep functional domain expertise and networks in global Financial Services, with a proven track record in building, scaling, and investing in leading software product companies.
