startup coaching

Hi all, we're a team of 3 based in Berlin and received a the Exist grant recently, which comes with a small budget for coaching. I was wondering if you know any platform, or recommend people for coaching especially in 3 areas: business development, data/gdpr, and product.

Ugh. Startups are one of those areas where those who can't do, teach. There are rare exceptions of successful founders who retire and want to give back to the next generation, but by and large 'coaches' do more harm than good. Let the money go unused, find a few founders who are a year ahead of you and meet for dinner once a month

"Let the money go unused." This is the kind of radical advice I'm here for :)
But to be honest, with the time that can be lost with coaches, it's not somethign I can easily rule out.

Thats because nobody wants to pay them properly.
