What I Do
Building, investing, advising.
Mirava
CEO & Co-Founder
I built the monetization intelligence platform I wished existed when I was scaling apps. Mirava helps mobile teams find the revenue they're leaving behind. Pricing, paywalls, retention. Data-driven, not gut-feel.

Active Investor
I back revenue-stage mobile apps and SaaS companies where I can actually help. Not passive capital. I get involved in monetization strategy, pricing architecture, and go-to-market. Two recent exits fund the next batch of bets.
Focus: Mobile apps, SaaS, monetization-adjacent tools
Stage: Seed to Series A, revenue-stage preferred
What I bring: Hands-on monetization expertise, pricing strategy, growth ops
Board Advisory
Post-Exit
Board advisor to two companies after exiting both in March 2026. Growth strategy, monetization, and scaling decisions.
Point of View
What I believe
Monetization is a product problem, not a finance problem. Most apps bolt it on last. The best ones design it in from day one.
Revenue-stage is where the real work starts. Getting to product-market fit is hard. Turning it into a business is harder.
The best investor on your cap table is someone who has done your job. Theory is cheap. Pattern recognition from operating is not.

Case Study
€21k → €55k MRR in 7 months
A B2C app portfolio that thought they had no problems. Turns out the biggest growth came from areas nobody was looking at. We repositioned the offer, rebuilt acquisition, ran systematic in-app A/B tests, and reworked pricing from the ground up. The result: 2.6x MRR growth in 7 months.

What People Say
From founders and operators I've worked with.
“I have been impressed with how quickly Demian has scaled up his company's revenues and profits. He is genuinely a driven 'A-player entrepreneur' with a solid ability to take a problem, find and quickly implement a solution. It has been a pleasure working with him and I enjoy his straightforward and effective leadership style.”
Giuseppe Santoro
Director, Dow Consumer Care
“Demian has the capacity to analyse a situation and come with very different 'out of the box' possibilities and solutions, due to his broad background in different markets and company sizes. He is critical on standard procedure thinking and challenges you to take another perspective, hereby not pushing the other option, but merely laying down the possibilities. He's very quick to analyse a situation, speak from his own experience and when his ideas aren't chosen as the way to go, he'll happily drop the train of thought, without taking it as personal criticism (which I find to be a rare trait in other people with and advisory position I have worked with). All in all very refreshing and pleasure to work and collaborate with!”
Berend Eberson
CEO, Grünten
“Demian has the unique combination of being strategical and at the same time being fast at executing. I has been working with Demian quite some time now and I am amazed of his passion for startups, growth and innovation. I am looking forward to see where our partnership will take us in the future. He has good knowledge in overall business strategy, growth, marketing, SaaS, tech, AI and related topics. I always get inspired by our sessions.”
André Francois
CEO, HappyAtWork
“Demian is a solid entrepreneur with a customer centric approach building a solid business. He has a strong strategic vision building an innovative product for a new market with a focus on becoming the dominating player in his niche.

Sam Mirson
