Welcome to PraeCeps!
Why most founders struggle to scale
Even the best ideas stall when:
The founder is asked to carry too much: strategy, leadership, execution, all at once. The team loses focus and direction. Growth is slowed by weak systems or unclear priorities.
This isn’t about the quality of your product.
It’s about having clarity, support, and execution at the right time.
PraeCeps supports executive decision making where technological systems, regulation, and geopolitical dynamics shape outcomes.
That’s why we built PraeCeps
We are Marianna and Elmar, the partners at PraeCeps. Marianna's career skyrocketed in one of the most complex industries in the world: global logistics and supply chain. It taught how to lead through complexity, scale under pressure, and bring clarity to innovation. Elmar is a seasoned CEO and famous entrepreneur with the vast experience in fundraising and scaling start-ups. Today, we use that experience to help founders in every industry build the leadership, strategy, and systems they need to survive and grow, from startups to global leaders. Along the way, we saw one truth: founders don’t fail because they lack vision. They fail because they don’t have the right support when it matters most.
PraeCeps exists to change that.
