Julius Bachmann
Investor · Operator · Founder · Musician
Before he became the advisor CEOs call in their hardest moments, Julius sat on the other side of the table — first as a PE/VC investor, then as a tech-company CFO. He knows cap tables, boardrooms and the pressure of the numbers from the inside. Over more than a decade he has financed and advised 200+ companies through their most consequential calls.
He is also an author and musician. He writes the Wise Systems newsletter — on how we stay human while building what matters — read by 6,500+ leaders, and has published essays in Forbes, Sifted, Capital and Business Insider. He holds an MBA from London Business School.
