About this session
An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.
You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.
Your mentor
I have 4+ years of experience across venture capital and private markets in the UK and EMEA, and I'm here to help you break into the industry or sharpen the skills that matter once you're in.
At Ajim Capital, I built a deal flow pipeline of 600+ companies and produced investor reports that contributed to a significant increase in high-value capital commitments. At Selerate Global, I advise early-stage founders on fundraising strategy and financial modelling, work that has supported $500K in institutional capital secured across fintech, healthtech, and climate-tech. I also independently scout deals for a UAE-based syndicate, screening opportunities across the African tech ecosystem for investment committee review.
I specialise in emerging markets, which is one of the most underrepresented and highest-potential areas in global venture right now. If that's where your interests lie, we'll have a lot to talk about.
I can help you with:
Breaking into VC or private markets as an analyst
Building and managing deal flow pipelines
Writing investment memos and investor reports
Financial modelling for early-stage companies
Understanding how Africa and EMEA deals actually get done
I'm flexible on scheduling and genuinely enjoy these conversations. If you're serious about a career in venture or private markets, let's connect.
