Sean Wilson

Builder, operator, and former international athlete - based in Germany, originally from New Zealand.

I help companies figure out how to get to market. Specializing in sales design and execution. Currently growing laiout, where we're bringing AI into architectural design - test fit office space in minutes, not weeks.

Before tech, I spent nine years as a competitive trampoline gymnast representing New Zealand internationally - including against Olympic champions. That taught me more about discipline, feedback loops, and performing under pressure than a classroom ever could.

My career since has spanned new-build real estate, PropTech and now AI SaaS go-to-market. The thread through all of it: find the gap, create the demand, flog the thing.

In 2019 I embarrassed myself on the world stage
