I help organisations build products that matter.
Builder and investor working across the full spectrum — from early-stage startups to established enterprises. I bring hands-on product strategy, technical guidance, and capital to teams solving real problems with software.
Building & Exploring
My approach to work and life is shaped by two complementary modes: building and exploring.
Building
Going deep. Creating. Building is about developing expertise: spending time with a problem, understanding nuances, and generating learning loops. It's the act of building that forms deep connections with craft, with teams, and with the problems worth solving.
Exploring
Going wide. Finding new connections. Exploring to discover adjacent possibilities, unexpected patterns, and novel approaches. It's about staying curious, connecting ideas across domains, and learning from others.
Together, these modes create something greater. Building without exploring leads to narrow expertise. Exploring without building lacks depth and impact. But the combination of deep knowledge from building and broad perspective from exploring is what allows me to navigate complexity.
This philosophy shapes what I do: whether I'm investing capital, sharing knowledge, connecting people in my network, or rolling up my sleeves to build. My goal is tohelp others fulfill their potential by bringing both depth and breadth to every collaboration.
What I Do
I work with organisations at every stage: from pre-seed startups to established enterprises. Whether you need strategic investment, product leadership, or technical guidance, I bring an operator's perspective to every engagement.
Early-Stage Investment
Pre-seed to seed stage capital for fintech, edtech, greentech and AI-driven products. I back founders solving problems they deeply care about.
Product Strategy & Leadership
Working with startups and enterprises to define product direction, validate assumptions, and build roadmaps that balance vision with execution.
Technical Architecture & AI
Helping teams design scalable systems, leverage AI and automation effectively, and make smart technical decisions without over-engineering.
Enterprise Advisory
Fractional and interim leadership for established companies building new products, entering new markets, or modernising their technical stack and processes.
Investment Focus
While I work with organizations at all stages, my investment capital is focused on early-stage companies where technology is central to the product. I back builders who care about craft, speed of learning, and customer empathy.
