Die Karrierebegleiter - DKB ltd
Another exciting project has started
With the investments already made in "Football AFC Betriebs ltd", the American football franchise of the Vienna Vikings in the new European League of Football (ELF), in "Unique Soccer Cooperations - USC ltd" (USC) and the acquisition of shares of the ESPORTIDO plc, the 50% share in DKB ltd represents a further exciting field of activity.
The young company has made it its business to accompany young athletes (and their families), but also coaches in important phases of their careers, in order to take the right next steps. Likewise one wants to support smaller clubs/associations on your way into higher play classes and competitions, so that these can grow reasonably in your structure and operational organization. With the implementation and holding of information events and smaller, regional congresses, the service portfolio of DKB ltd is rounded off.
"When my long-time friend and colleague Michael Aigner and his son Michel Maximilian presented me with the idea of founding such a company, it quickly became clear to me that I wanted to be involved in this project! The first mandates with young players, coaches and ambitious clubs have shown me that there is a corresponding demand for our consulting services! We want to deliberately distinguish ourselves from the activities of player managers, whose focus is on the respective next transfer, and act supportively in the background - in doing so, we can build on more than 25 years of experience in sports and event management as well as in the management of clubs, companies and associations!", says Markus Kraetschmer, who, like Michel Aigner, also acts as Managing Director at the company's headquarters in Vienna.
To date, the cooperation with players, coaches and clubs has taken place in football, but in the coming months the activities will also be specifically expanded to projects in other sports. Regionally, the focus is initially in the D-A-CH region, but in the next few years an expansion of the areas of activity is also conceivable. "The focus is on the notion of SUPPORT, according to which there are and have been projects that have lasted only a few weeks, others are deliberately long-term - it is a permanent learning on both sides, which makes the tasks so exciting - the basic prerequisite is mutual trust, then there is a very high probability of achieving the defined realistic goals, even if the not easy framework conditions on the market always bring twists and turns!", summarizes Kraetschmer after the first project experiences.
