A small, opinionated team building products from brand to engineering — with backgrounds at TUM, LMU, Microsoft, and Academy Consult.
We believe the best products aren't made in consultancies. They're made in small teams that think like builders, ship like engineers, and shape brand as carefully as they shape the codebase.
milbo is AI-native. Not as a marketing word. But in how we work: fast prototypes with modern tooling, real production systems, no slide-decks as the final deliverable.
We work as one team across brand strategy and engineering. Sometimes both. Sometimes just one. Always in service of the idea — and the people carrying it forward.
From first idea to final product — we shape solutions that truly fit your needs. Whether you come with a rough vision or a detailed plan, we adapt to make it work.
We bring proven workflows and deep expertise — but never stop challenging ourselves. New ideas, bold concepts and unconventional paths are part of how we work.
You choose how involved you want to be — fully hands-on or fully handled. We keep communication open, honest, and straight to the point.
Co-Founder & CEO
Heart and backbone of milbo. Joshua leads the company, drives business development, and stays close to clients. TUM Computer Science & Management, thesis on software architecture, and years of entrepreneurial experience.
Partner & CTO
Master in Computer Science at TUM. Hands-on software engineer and architect — the technical foundation for both strategy and execution.
Founding Engineer
Master in Electrical Engineering at TUM. AI engineer, frontend developer, and project manager — coding from the very beginning.
Marketing & Project Management
Creative mind behind the milbo universe — from project management to brand strategy and design.
Project Management
Samiel holds the threads together at milbo. Between strategy, brand, tech and go-to-market, he makes sure plans turn into finished projects — on time, clean, with nothing left hanging. For our clients, he’s usually the person where everything comes together.
Creative Director
Marc owns how milbo and our clients' work looks and feels. From brand identity down to the last detail, he gives every project a clear, distinctive form — design that doesn't look off-the-shelf.
Backend Developer
Core backend developer with a knack for algorithms. Master's in Computer Science at TUM, joined milbo after collaborating via Academy Consult e.V.
Co-Founder & COO
Keeps milbo running smoothly — analyzing processes, improving workflows, and handling daily operations. Physics at LMU, starting Computer Science at TUM.
Co-Founder & Legal Operations
Law degree at LMU, leading project management and legal operations. Growing into Head of Business Development and Legal.
Co-Founder & CFO
30 years of entrepreneurial experience. Runs Writers in Production and supports milbo as strategic advisor, legal counsel, and finance oversight.
AI Engineer
Ahmed builds the milbo OS: the internal, agentic backbone we use to automate our own operations. As AI Engineer, he turns milbo’s idea of the "Zero Percent Operational Company" into working code — and is writing his bachelor’s thesis on it in parallel.
Founder Associate
Max works closely with the founders and steps in wherever it counts most — from research and operations to project delivery. As Founder Associate, he gets to know milbo from every angle and pitches in across the board.
Our evolution
Every discipline we do today, we added because the last one alone was no longer enough.
Then
We started as engineers-for-hire. Good code shipped — but products still failed on the way to the user.
+ UX
Because good software needs to be usable. Design became part of the same team, not a handover.
+ Brand
Because good UX needs an audience that already trusts the product. Brand isn't a coat of paint.
+ Strategy
Because clean execution of the wrong strategy still misses. We started shaping the goal, not just the delivery.
+ GTM
Because products need markets, and markets need distribution. Launch is engineering too.
Today
All five, run agentically, under one roof. milbo doesn't hand off — it ships.
Partnerships
Six programs and integrations that let us ship faster, deploy on European infrastructure, and hand clients over cleanly when a project outgrows us.
Accelerator Growth ProgramAs one of the selected teams in the Google Accelerator Growth Program, we sharpen our growth playbooks at the source — and bring the same methodology into our clients' go-to-market work.
Selected for the growth program: growth methodology, mentoring, Google network & AI tooling.
Integration PartnerCode thinks. Make orchestrates. As a Make Integration Partner we build the process chains that eliminate our clients' operational drag — documented in our Execution Stack paper.
Implementation partner for the orchestration runtime that powers the Execution Stack.
Integration PartnerAI deployments on European infrastructure: as a Scaleway integration partner we operate sovereign, GDPR-compliant AI systems — from self-hosted models to production workloads. Digital sovereignty isn't a slogan, it's an architecture decision.
European AI / cloud infrastructure.
PartnerBrand websites that ship in weeks instead of quarters: as a Webflow partner we connect our brand system directly to delivery — no handover loss between design and build.
Official partner program: certified web delivery.
Integration PartnerEnterprise-grade Web3 instead of crypto hype: as a Base integration partner we bring real-world assets and smart-contract systems onto Coinbase's L2 — proven with 4Collection.
Web3 infrastructure partnership with Coinbase's Layer 2.
Project PartnershipTarmac.io — Project Partnership. On selected projects we team up with Tarmac toward one goal — two engineering cultures, one delivery standard (AWS & Microsoft certified, SOC 2).
Selected projects, one goal — two engineering cultures, one delivery standard.
Ventures
milbo VentureThree companies where we don't just build the tech — we hold shares and stay on the cap table.
milbo VentureWeb3 · Diamond Investing
Web3 platform for diamond investing (real-world assets, GIA-certified, 1:1 digital twin).
We hold shares and built the platform end-to-end — product design, smart contracts, e-commerce. If we believe in diamond investing as an asset class, we do it with our own stake in the game.
milbo VentureAI Assistant for Official Mail
AI assistant for official mail (iOS & Android, #1 in the DACH niche, built end-to-end in 5 weeks).
Our own AI-core product: from idea to store in five weeks — Elaria is the living proof of the milbo model. We hold a stake because we built it and believe in it.

Visit sitePro Bono
Same team, same quality, no budget — we give execution to places that can't afford it.
We build the Young Forum's digital platform.
AI & automations — we automate the operations behind the Climate Week.
Website — concept and build.
Brand & strategy — positioning and brand system.
Each quarter we take on a small number of projects like these.
Studio as proof
The same systems we build for clients run our own operations. Not a marketing line — an architecture choice.
Our internal AI operating system. Sales, delivery, reporting, and knowledge flow through it. Built on the same stack we ship to clients.
Whole workflows — inbox triage, proposal generation, content distribution — run agentically. The team supervises; the agents execute.
Our internal experiment in a fully-autonomous company layer. Each function represented by an agent, each agent measurable. The proof-of-concept for what we then build with enterprise clients.
We take on a small number of new projects each quarter. If you'd like to be in one of the next slots, let us know.
