What mosaik does

Mosaik is a student-led, non-profit association (Verein) registered in Vienna, Austria, founded in 2021 by four students — Luca, Lucy, Jakob, and Dani. The organization aggregates student talent from six or more European universities spanning 20+ nationalities and 15+ academic backgrounds, forming tailored consulting teams for client projects. Mosaik is governed by a board currently comprising Daria Kachanovich (WU Vienna) and Carl Riekenbrauck (UniWien) for the Summer Semester 2025 term.

The company delivers a suite of digital product development services through these student teams, including UI/UX design, product consulting, AI agents and automations, web development, market research and validation, and branding and marketing. Service delivery is project-based, covering end-to-end product development from ideation and MVP validation through to full-scale launch. Mosaik maintains a curated portfolio of case studies spanning startups and SMBs across verticals including EV charging (wecharge), HVAC (Heizma), wine and hospitality (Weinhaus Haiden), sustainable tourism (Tiirinniemen Ranta), and consumer merchandise (Prysma). The organization also developed Prysma as an internal merchandise project that evolved into a standalone brand.

The business model is that of a project-based professional services organization with quote-based pricing and no publicly listed fee tiers. The company markets through a community-led GTM approach leveraging university networks, events hosted on Eventbrite, social media presence on Instagram and LinkedIn, and a free strategy call offering. Mosaik is structured as a non-commercial Verein rather than a revenue-maximizing entity, which constrains capital-driven scaling but supports the talent-experience mission. The organization is recognized as a member of Junior Enterprise Austria and was awarded 'Austria's Most Promising Junior Initiative' in 2024. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or revenue figures are disclosed.
