Strategy from someone
who's actually done it
Maik Schwede built swing2sleep from nothing to 700,000+ customers and 8-figure revenue - bootstrapped, no investors, no safety net. He survived a personal bankruptcy and rebuilt entirely. Now he advises founders and SME owners who want strategy from someone who's been through it, not just studied it.

What We Do
Four areas. Each one grounded in what we've personally built, broken, and fixed.
Strategic Management Consulting
Realignment, growth, crisis management and restructuring. No theory - proven strategies from hands-on entrepreneurial practice.
AI Development for Entrepreneurs
Personal AI assistants, process automation and AI strategy. We build systems that make entrepreneurs more productive.
Production & Sourcing Asia
Setting up and managing production lines in Asia. Supplier selection, quality assurance and logistics from years of practical experience.
Brand & IP Strategy
Brand development, licensing, intellectual property protection and DEMPE documentation. From EU trademark registration to international licensing structures.
Who This Is For
You're running a company - probably between 1 and 50 people - and you've hit a point where the next move isn't obvious. You've got traction but not direction. Or you're in a crisis and need someone who's been there. Or you want to build something in Asia or protect your IP properly and don't know where to start.
You want someone who'll tell you what they actually think, not write you a slide deck.
This is not for pre-revenue startups or large corporates. The sweet spot is founders and SME owners with real operations and specific problems.
Proof, Not Pitch
Three companies. Different industries. Same approach: build it right, scale it yourself.
