About Me

I didn’t arrive in venture through finance — I arrived through execution.
I am building my career on the frontline of sales, business development, and growth — in environments where results matter and excuses don’t. I’m not just an investor — I’m an entrepreneur. I’ve built my own company and learned firsthand what it takes to turn an idea into momentum, and momentum into scale.

I come from the world of operators — people who solve problems, create traction, and build brick by brick. That’s why I invest early: because the earliest stage is where courage matters most.

Today, I back founders who move fast, think boldly, and build products the world hasn’t seen yet. My approach is simple:
Founder-first. No noise. Execution above everything.

I invest up to €25,000 per ticket in seed-stage startups and support teams ready to go from promising to inevitable. When needed, I step in with real operator support — GTM, strategy, partnerships, growth — not theory.

If you’re building something ambitious — something that keeps you up at night — I want to hear from you.

What I Look For

I back founders who show unmistakable signs of momentum early

MVP & Early Traction

I look for founders who can prove movement — not perfection.

Early users, small revenue, pilots, retention signals, even scrappy experiments that show people care enough to try again.

Fast-Moving Founders

Great founders don’t wait — they test, build, and adjust fast.

I look at cycle speed: how quickly you ship, learn, improve, and turn feedback into product.

Sharp Understanding of the Problem

Founders who know their problem better than anyone else.

Clear articulation, data points, lived experience, and a perspective that feels earned — not theorized.

High-Ambition Markets

I invest where the ceiling is high and timing is right.

Large emerging markets, painful problems, or segments where early speed creates long-term defensibility.
