About

We’re Lasse and Julian.

Two founders from the same small town near Kiel. Neither of us comes from cruise; we come from engineering and finance, and we think that outside view helps. Onboard, the guest experience is everything, yet the reason behind each yes usually goes unrecorded. That gap is what we are here to close. We build AIfred, Experiential AI for cruise and hospitality.

Lasse Petersen
Co-Founder & CEO

Lasse is CEO. He leads the company, the product and its development, and designed and built the technology behind AIfred. Before sealevel he worked for years as a self-employed IT consultant across software and hardware. He studied information and electrical engineering (IuE) at HAW Kiel, where he also worked on research projects.

Julian S.
Co-Founder & CFO

Julian is CFO and responsible for finance, planning and funding, and for the commercial side of pilots and partnerships. He studied finance and worked as a management consultant for large corporate clients before joining sealevel.

Lasse and Julian grew up in the same village near Kiel: same year, same school, always on good terms, but never close. One played handball, the other tennis, with little overlap in between. Years later life brought them back together, and a conversation about an idea did the rest.

How we work

Calm, direct, and on it.

We work the way people in the north tend to: calm, level-headed and direct. When a problem comes up, we take ownership of it and solve it.

Built in Kiel.
