About
Five years at a fintech taught me everything about fundraising. Except how to make it less painful for founders.I spent those years at portagon, a VC-funded B2B fintech. Started early stage, ended as VP Operations. Finance, investor relations, people, GTM. I've built the systems that turn small teams into scalable companies.Since leaving, I've been advising startups on fundraising and finance. Doing that work showed me the real problem: founders either pay €30K+ for professional help, or they spend weeks guessing what investors actually want to see. Both options suck.So we're building a better one. RaiseRoom is an AI-powered Fundraising OS that helps startups get investor-ready in days, not months.I'm also building an e-commerce brand and co-founded an affiliate network. All ventures AI-first from day one.Happy to connect on fundraising, e-commerce, finance infrastructure, and the reality of building from scratch.-
