About Me
Thanks for stopping by.
I’m Chris Erhardt — an entrepreneur, business consultant, AI & automation strategist, and private pilot currently based in Dallas.
​
Back in 2015, my wife Mylène and I co-founded a music tech startup that took the recording studio into the cloud. We later launched a platform that let fans discover future hits — using data, behavioral science, and blockchain. In 2020, we built an AI-powered service that creates custom songs for special occasions — automating lyrics, composition, and vocals.
​
I’ve raised capital from angels and VCs, secured government grants, and scaled teams across multiple time zones. As a German-born founder who relocated to North America through one of my ventures, I understand the value of building globally-minded, highly efficient businesses. I earned my private pilot’s license in 2019, and — fun fact — a lot of what makes me an effective consultant comes from what I learned in the cockpit: precision, preparation, and structured decision-making.
Since 2020, I’ve helped over 100 companies across the U.S., Canada, and beyond — advising on automation, AI integration, operational efficiency, fundraising, international expansion, and executive performance. Whether you're scaling, pivoting, or just stuck in the weeds, I bring fresh eyes, strategic clarity, and hands-on support.

What it’s like to work with me
Running a small or mid-sized business is no small task. You're wearing a dozen hats, juggling priorities, and trying to make the right calls — often in real time, with limited resources. That’s where I come in. Whether you need 5 hours a month or 20, having an experienced outside advisor gives you something most business owners rarely get: perspective, clarity, and a trusted partner who’s not stuck in the weeds.​
​
​I work directly with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to identify inefficiencies, accelerate growth, implement automation, and bring structure to chaos. Sometimes it’s hands-on support for a specific project. Other times, it’s acting as a sounding board — helping you think through strategy, expansion, or execution. I bring experience from working with over 100 businesses across multiple industries, and I tailor everything to fit your business — not a cookie-cutter playbook.
​
​I also walk the talk. In my own ventures, I rely on advisors to challenge my thinking, expand my network, and keep me sharp. It's one of the smartest investments a business owner can make — not because you can't figure it out on your own, but because you're too valuable to your business to spend time stuck in trial-and-error mode.
​
Working with me is flexible and straightforward. No long-term commitments, no bloated overhead, and no junior handoffs. You get direct access to me, and I cap the number of clients I take on to ensure I can actually deliver value — not just send invoices. If I don’t believe I can help move the needle in your business, I’ll tell you that upfront.
