Your mentor
I work at the intersection of startup building, venture capital, and Web3, with a clear focus on helping founders navigate capital, strategy, and real-world execution and real advice.
Over the years, I’ve worked closely with early- and growth-stage founders, supported investor relations processes, and collaborated with investors across different markets. I’ve seen startups succeed and fail often not because of technology, but because founders didn’t fully understand VC incentives, dilution, cap tables, or how early decisions compound over time.
I’m involved as:
- a startup advisor and ecosystem operator, working closely with founders from early idea stage through growth, helping them turn concepts into structured, investor-ready businesses
- an advisor and board member, supporting strategic decision-making, long-term planning, and founder alignment during high-pressure phases
- a builder in Web3 and emerging tech, actively involved in shaping products, business models, and go-to-market strategies in fast-moving environments
- ex founder of multiple businesses and always keen to create something new what’s matter and have need.
- the host of Founders Unchained, where I have unfiltered conversations with founders, CEOs, and investors about what really happens behind the scenes
In practice, this means I’ve helped startups:
- build and refine business models, including revenue logic, unit economics, and scalability assumptions
- prepare for fundraising rounds (pre-seed to growth), from structuring the raise and defining milestones to positioning the story for investors
- develop pitch decks and investment materials that reflect both ambition and realism
- think through capital strategy, dilution, and long-term optionality, not just the next round
- stress-test ideas against real market and investor expectations
My approach is practical, founder-first, and grounded in experience - focused on helping teams build companies that can raise capital because they make sense, not because they follow trends.
