Sem Michels, founder of ABO Brandgroup

Built on intention, scaled on craft.

Sem Michels cut his teeth in performance marketing and direct-to-consumer ecommerce, building and scaling brands online before turning that discipline into a long-term strategy for building companies that last. He brings a rare triangle of expertise: sharp acquisition, operational precision, and genuine product intuition.

The thesis is simple: start lean, earn the right to scale, and build brands that outlast the trends that launched them. Performance drives acquisition, operations create the foundation for scale, and brand is what makes it last.

How we build.

01
Start Small
Minimal team, minimal Opex. Every Euro stays deployable. Nothing wasted on overhead, headcount, or offices we don't need.
02
Profit First
Bootstrap to cash flow before scaling. Self-funded runway beats every term sheet. The brands earn their own growth.
03
Own The Channel
Direct-to-consumer by default. Own the customer, own the data, own the margin. No dependencies on platforms that can disappear overnight.
04
Build To Last
Brand equity compounds where ad spend doesn't. Prioritise what will matter in ten years, not ten days.
