The everyday fight against bureaucracy

As a SaaS founder, some days it feels more than impossible. Five hundred pages of due diligence, back-to-backs all day long and a no at the bank at the end of it. It’s slow. It’s outdated. It’s bureaucratic. We’re here to change that.

Meet the founders

Cedric Notz

Co-founder & CEO

“As start-up founders ourselves, we have the vision to empower other founders by providing them the capital they need to focus on building their business without entering a never-ending fundraising mode.”

Cedric started Float with the intention of changing the way SMEs access capital. As an entrepreneur, he was frustrated with how antiquated the whole process was and went on a mission to provide founder-friendly capital.  Previously, he was on the founding team of a beverage startup called Harmless Harvest in San Francisco, which now has 140 staff.

Before his entrepreneurial endeavours, Cedric worked for more than 10+ years in investment banking between, New York, London and Geneva. He also competed in the Olympics in Alpine Skiing. Cedric holds a bachelor of science degree in Finance from Boston College.

Jannis Koehn, co-founder of Float

Jannis Koehn

Co-founder & COO

“As the former CEO and CFO of a B2B subscription business, I've experienced first-hand how hard it is for scale-ups to get a credit line from banks. The market isn't working, and we want to change that.”

Jannis joined Float in 2021 to combine his professional passions: B2B and finance in a start-up environment. Previously, he had worked for six years as CEO and CFO at the Swedish B2B retail-tech subscription scale-up Looklet. Before that, he worked at BCG in Germany and the U.S. for six years.

Jannis holds a Finance Masters from WHU Beisheim School of Management and an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School where he tutored advanced risk management and finance. He is a passionate sailor (both cruising and hydrofoiling) and lives near Stockholm with his wife and his two daughters.

Our values

We know that building a great company takes being both soft and tough—expansive yet detailed, disciplined yet visionary. Our values hold all these ideas at once and make the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Get in touch

Create

We have the courage to create and to dream big.
We turn ideas into real products, fast. We prototype, test, and ship instead of over-polishing decks. Creativity for us is practical: something new in the hands of customers, not just on a whiteboard.

Care

We care about our colleagues, our clients and the work.
We care about people and the work. We give clear, honest feedback, and we show up for each other when things get tough. No egos, no lone heroes – we win and lose as a team, together with our clients.

Grow

We never settle. There’s always room for an evolution.
We never assume we’re done. We measure, learn, and iterate on everything from our product to our processes. Curiosity, feedback, and continuous improvement beat perfection every single time.

Grit

We are disciplined and have done our ten thousand meters in the pool.
We do the hard meters in the pool – the unglamorous work that actually moves the needle. We show up, follow through, and stay disciplined when it stops being fun. That’s how we build something that lasts.
