We can take your concept from napkin to reality, in as little as a few weeks, without sacrificing quality or precision. We are the ultimate accelerators, the ones who can help you win the race against time and rivals.

We also know that in order to win the hearts and minds of your stakeholders, you need more than just a functional prototype.

We can help you craft a message that resonates with your audience, that communicates the value of your idea, and that inspires action.

Lovis Kauf

Meet Lovis, the Trailblazing Tinkerer: The German Engineer with a Thirst for Entrepreneurship

Introducing our very own free-spirited founder Lovis, an unstoppable force with an insatiable appetite for learning and adventure! Shaped by years of hands-on experience in the German apprentice system, Lovis honed his mechanical skills before crossing the pond to Texas, where he expanded his education and entrepreneurial spirit.

But don't be fooled by the impressive academic credentials – it's the passion for entrepreneurship, business development, and product management that truly sets Lovis apart.

With a personal mantra to "choose a customer over a boss any day," he is driven by a relentless pursuit of location freedom and income independence.

Guided by core values of Entrepreneurship, Learning, Empowerment, Freedom, and Sustainability, Lovis is a master of blending work and play, always striving to make a meaningful impact on the world. As an engineer, entrepreneur, and business strategy consultant, he is not just chasing his own dreams but also empowering others with the wisdom he has gathered along the way.

A true maverick at heart, our founder embodies the spirit of Ghost Founder: agile, innovative, and eager to challenge the status quo. So, come along for the ride and join the fun as we create cutting-edge technology with a purpose and a whole lot of passion!

OUR TEAM

Made up of a few corporate rebels, and crafty DIY-ers, the Ghost Founder team consists of a crew of multi-talented individuals. We like to color outside of the lines at GF, so when we hire we look for team members that want to do more than what's in their job description. Each individual comes to us with a varied background and a "can-do" attitude. We actively work not to box teammates in, if they have an idea we want to hear it.
