20 Millionen Euro, profitabel und trotzdem noch immer „Nice-to-have"?: Mental Health am Arbeitsplatz skalieren – Julian Tesche (OpenUp)

from Startup Insider · host Host: Jan Thomas, Gast: Julian Tesche (OpenUp / torq.partners), Redaktion: Carl Fischer

Wie skaliert man ein Mental-Health-Produkt, wenn der ROI schwer zu messen ist? Julian Tesche ist GTM Advisor bei OpenUp, der europäischen Mental-Wellbeing-Plattform, die frisch 20 Millionen Euro von Smartfin eingesammelt hat. Im Startup Spotlight mit Jan Thomas spricht er über Profitabilität, Go-to-Market im DACH-Raum und warum mentale Gesundheit noch immer in der Nice-to-have-Schublade steckt. Über den Gast Julian Tesche ist GTM Advisor bei OpenUp und Head of Partnerships bei torq.partners. Der erfahrene SaaS-Experte studierte Organisational Innovation and Entrepreneurship an der Copenhagen Business School und war als einer der ersten Commercial Hires bei Peakon maßgeblich am Aufbau des DACH-Geschäfts beteiligt – mit einem Beitrag von über 5 % am globalen New-Business-Umsatz zur 700-Millionen-Dollar-Akquisition durch Workday. Danach skalierte er bei HiPeople den Umsatz auf das Zehnfache und baute bei HiBob als erster DACH-Teamleiter mehr als eine Million Euro ARR auf. Heute verantwortet er bei OpenUp die Go-to-Market-Strategie für den deutschsprachigen Raum – gleichzeitig mit seiner Rolle bei torq.partners. Ein bewusst gewähltes Doppelmandat, das er im Gespräch offen reflektiert.
