They change what founders can do.

I build the layer around founders that turns a fund from capital into leverage.

Very few build support that founders actually feel.

Introductions are easy.Brand is easy.Theater is easy.
Real leverage is harder.
It comes from systems.From relationships.From execution.

That is the layer I build.

01

Portfolio support that is real

Not vague founder help. Practical leverage — the kind that shows up in decisions, not decks.

02

Networks that move companies forward

Operators. Customers. Partners. Capital. The right introduction at the right moment.

03

Platform advantage that compounds

Systems that make a fund more useful with every company it backs. Not one-off support.

04

Strategic projects that matter

Not activity. Not optics. Real advantage that founders feel and LPs notice.

At Seedrs / Republic, I helped scale the European business across 15+ markets (DACH, Nordics, Baltics, CEE) and worked across founders, investors, partnerships, and platform growth.

I have built ventures myself.

I know what founders need when things get fast, messy, and expensive.

2018 — 2024
Head of Europe— Seedrs / Republic

Helped scale the European business across 15+ markets — DACH, Nordics, Baltics, CEE. Operated across founders, investors, partnerships, and platform growth. Built the infrastructure that made the fund useful to founders, not just to LPs.

2014 — 2018
Founder— Fintech, IoT, AI, Marketplaces

Built ventures directly. One company became profitable in 11 months and was acquired. Learned what founders need when things get fast, messy, and expensive — from the inside.

Ongoing
Operator— Across the stack

Worked across founders, accelerators, commercial teams, and strategic stakeholders long enough to know where support becomes real value — and where it stays performative.
