About
I've sat on every side of the table — as the VC writing the check, the founder raising it, and the operator building the business in between. At Earlybird ($2bn+ AUM), I led five investment rounds across fintech, insurtech, and crypto, including the Series A for GetSafe (raised $100M+ in follow-on). I co-founded Matchly, a regulated consumer fintech — raised $2M from Bling Capital and founders of Brex, Gusto, and Flexport, built a team of 9, and took a product from zero to market. Co-founded Plutos Capital, a digital assets firm that generated >20% net IRR for its investors before we sold the company in 2025. Currently at Celonis, working with the CFO in one of Europe's most valuable enterprise software companies. Always open to conversations about investing, building, and what's next.
