Marius Meiners, CEO & Co-Founder Peec.ai

I'm a serial entrepreneur who loves building companies from zero to scale.
I co-founded Newsletter2Go (bootstrapped to DACH market leader, exited to Brevo) and Jurafuchs (market-leading legal EdTech, €1.4M raised).
After the exit, I led North America and Corp Dev at Brevo, supporting a $160M Series B and scaling to unicorn level.

I've spent years advising and mentoring founders and ecosystems with a pragmatic, execution-first lens; Supporting the French Tech, mentoring founders through Antler and the Entrepreneurs' Organization, and building and chairing Brevo's Advisory Board.

I invest Pre-Seed and Seed in exceptional software teams where product and execution are already showing early proof.
Beyond capital, I stay close as a sparring partner on strategy, product, GTM, and fundraising with the goal to help founders turn early momentum into a sustainable flywheel.
