10k LinkedIn followers reintroduction

Just crossed 10k followers. Let me reintroduce myself.

Hey:) I'm Tim, 22, in between sf and Switzerland, building my GTM SaaS.

I used to be a Swiss karate national team athlete (competing at junior Europeans and world championships, winning bronze at the youth Europeans), so I've always been driven by goals.

At 18 I knew I wanted to become an entrepreneur in the tech industry, so I took a massive risk to not study.

I started my career as a freelance automation engineer. Felt like being kicked down a staircase trying to learn how to walk, but I definitely needed to learn and improve fast.

As a 19 year old I closed multinational enterprise clients and managed projects where +40 people and teams relied on the systems I built for them, and I trained their teams. So this was the time I learned responsibility, and as a teenager it was very overwhelming.

Soon I specialised in GTM Engineering. I built a small agency and had the pleasure of helping +20 B2B tech companies with their GTM motion as a consultant and freelancer.

In 2025 I decided to build a LinkedIn AI SDR and thought I was ready to scale that company. Led a team of 4 people and essentially burned through 20k of my savings in that year. ouch. That venture failed, but taught me a lot about what it takes to build a SaaS company, which I'm now applying to OXYGEN.

A big thank you to everyone who supported me and followed along the journey. I've consistently documented my learnings and my takes here on LinkedIn, and on YouTube where I'm at 2.8k followers.
