Repeat Founder & Versatile Generalist | Let's Talk if You Need a Sparring Partner
Repeat founder with 10+ years of experience across eCommerce, digital health, and deeptech. I specialize in taking startups from 0 to 1, with deep expertise in business modeling, fundraising, marketing, business development, and pitch deck strategy. My strength lies in connecting the dots—understanding how each element of a business influences the bigger picture. Most recently, I built the UK's leading virtual male fertility brand, raising millions in VC funding and serving thousands of patients annually. After a decade of building startups, I realized the value of sharing my experience with early-stage founders. If you need a sparring partner to refine your vision, tackle challenges, or accelerate your startup’s growth, let’s talk.
I’ve raised a total of €7M across two companies - one in eCommerce and the other in digital health.

Fundraising isn’t just about securing capital - it’s about building long-term relationships, managing expectations and proving why your vision deserves to be backed.

In the end, what we lacked in funding, we made up for with resilience - proving that even an underfunded startup can dominate its industry.
