San Diego, California, United States
I back global outliers. Founders pushing the frontier of deep bio and deep tech. Scientists turning breakthrough research into companies that can reshape industries. My work sits at the intersection of venture capital, frontier science, and global collaboration, with a perspective shaped by Switzerland’s precision and Southern California’s entrepreneurial momentum. I currently serve as Head of Acceleration Europe at HomeLab, helping scale one of the world’s leading deep bio accelerator platforms supporting startups across longevity, BioAI, and frontier therapeutics. I have also been an operator, co-founding deep tech and biotech ventures and working on university licensing, fundraising, commercialization, and early business strategy. I am particularly interested in deep tech founders, university spinouts, and investors building at the frontier of science. I focus on helping frontier science companies translate breakthrough research into globally scalable ventures
