Built from the real estate industry. Engineered with ETH depth.
ailean wasn't born in a research lab, but out of operational experience. Alexandros spent fifteen years building companies in real estate and hospitality before asking Florian whether the recurring pain points could be solved with artificial intelligence.
Why this team.
An industry person who has lived every pain point. A tech person who builds AI systems that actually work. An investor who has already walked the path from pilot to DACH scaling. No consultants, no token seats — three entrepreneurs who pull their operational weight.
Alexandros Tyropolis
Started with a commercial apprenticeship in the real estate industry, then spent fifteen years building companies in real estate and hospitality from the ground up. Knows the property-management reality from the inside: every tenant request, every water damage, every yield discussion with owners. ailean is the answer to a pain he experienced daily himself.
Dr. Florian Krausbeck
PhD from ETH Zurich, most recently Chief AI Officer of ambrite AG. Built AI systems before that became a marketing term. Understands what works in the research lab and what holds up in daily use at the customer. Brings the pace and depth a pre-seed team needs to deliver faster than corporations can react.
Cédric Thomas Waldburger
Co-founder of DFINITY (Internet Computer), today founding partner of Tomahawk.VC. Once helped build a globally scaled tech company from Switzerland. On the board because he knows the path from pre-seed to scaling and asks the uncomfortable questions before they hurt.
Philipp Schwarz
Knowledge from many industries and from customers' needs. International experience, but Switzerland has been his home for 20 years.
Marco Detering
His passion is AI. Despite his young age, the Swiss already has experience with his own companies and as an employee, including in Scandinavia and Germany.
What guides us.
We tell customers what doesn't work. We tell investors what isn't working out. We tell applicants whether it's a fit. Honesty saves time later.
We solve problems we have experienced ourselves. We build software that is in daily use at the customer. Concepts without an anchor in practice remain concepts.
Data in Switzerland. Tenancy law from Switzerland. Based in Zurich. We're going international, but we don't forget where we come from.
