We met Alexander when we had just put our MVP together. His predictions for the coming month were astonishing, and in hindsight, I wish I had sought his advice more frequently. I am sure this would have saved us one or two detours or helped us find the right shortcut and make the best decision for the hurdle we faced at the moment. Communication with him is straightforward, honest, and friendly, constantly uncovering new ways to identify problems and develop effective solutions. What I find particularly valuable is that, despite his immense expertise and experience, Alexander collaborates with you to develop ideas and solutions tailored to your specific situation rather than offering generic advice. I am grateful for every call we’ve had and look forward to many more! (Wuerzburg, Germany July 2024)

Alexander is a value bringing, open-minded, supportive and always positive and solution oriented mind. We feel very lucky that he chose us - repath - and ever since is heavily supporting our B2B SaaS growth. He is THE GUY you need in an early pre-seed phase to learn how the whole start-up B2B SaaS Funding world works and how to find your own way in it! He has connections to relevant international investors, as well as to successful Start-Ups and does everything in his power to "pull the right strings" at the right moment. Alexander; thanks for everything so far we are lucky having you on our big, complex yourney towards repath purpose and success (Berlin, Germany Jan 2023)

Winning Alexander as our business angel was one of our biggest achievements in the early days of fundraising. From the moment of his (verbal) committment - and even before signing any official document - he opened his network and became our “ambassador”. He introduced us to various high profile and highly relevant investors and our fundraising suddenly took off. Alexander’s engagement goes way beyond that of a typical business angel: we consider him part of our founding team and value him as coach, mentor, mediator and networker on topics ranging from fundraising & investor relations to establishing structure and processes in a start-up company. It is obvious that Alexander has “done it hundred times”, knows the rules of venture capital and SaaS businesses and gently points you in the right direction. He is an invaluable asset to any (start-up) team that is lucky to win him as a business angel and advisor. ! (Duesseldorf, Germany, Jume 2021)

If you want to build a successful B2B SaaS company, Alexander is your "go-to-guy"! Alexander knows the industry from all perspectives.

Alexander Brühl is the most brilliant mentor and advisor for SaaS entrepreneurs in Germany.

Being an entrepreneur by himself and sitting on many chairs in the past - also including VC investor and angel - entrepreneurs can be sure, that Alexander's mentoring is spot-on. (Karlsruhe, Germany, April 2019)

My colleagues at Senovo and I are very fortunate to have been introduced to Alexander a couple of years ago and we are very lucky to have joint investments with him in different SaaS companies. Alexander is a prime example of a value-added, hands-on angel investor and mentor. His extensive experience as entrepreneur and VC investor paired with his brilliant ability to coach teams and his passionate commitment make him an extremely valuable part of early stage companies. The founders and investors we know and who work with Alexander all have the highest respect for him, not only for the reasons above but also because of his trustworthy and supportive personality. We believe that Alexander is the “go-to” business angel for SaaS entrepreneurs. (Munich, Germany, Juli 2017)

I met Alexander when we started our first efforts to raise some capital for AlfaDocs in late 2016, where he was introduced to us by a potential investor. In the first meeting, immediately my co-founder and I were deeply impressed by his profound knowledge and experience in the SaaS domain. Luckily, Alexander also believed in AlfaDocs and us founders, so he asked us to keep him up-to-date with our fundraising efforts. In the past few month, Alexander was extremely helpful. We had very important strategical questions and his answers were always highly valuable to us... nonetheless, Alexander never asked a cent of compensation. He helped us to develop a fund raising strategy that fit's our company. We immediately felt that, by how investors now responded to our new approach. Now, thanks to Alexander, we are in touch with investors that suite AlfaDocs very well and they seem to be great people to work with. At this point we feel really comfortable to continue our collaboration with Alexander on a deeper level. He is just a great value added to the team on professional and personal level. It is very rare to meet people so straight forward and honest, as Alexander is. Huge respect for your approach, knowledge and empathy with us founders! Thank you very much. Let's conquer the world.

Alexander Bruehl and I met in 2009 when we decided to look for a funding for Propertybase and bring the company to the next level. Alexander helped us to close the first round of financing and is a shareholder and a Member of our board since 2010. His knowledge about Venture Capital and his overall business experience have been essential to get the funds together to make Propertybase one of the leading real estate CRM providers. Alexander is not only an extremely experienced VC but, unlike many other people in this business, really understands the enterpreneuer (I think this is mainly because he was one himself and still is).
