About

30+ years in institutional equity markets — Cazenove, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Liberum — before turning to early-stage investing in 2011, when I co-founded Parva Capital My portfolio includes Scalable Capital (€20B+ AUM, 1M+ customers), Oritain (Series C, $228M valuation), LiNa Energy, Racanaa Energy, and PLNAR.ai. These aren't household names yet — but they were all overlooked when I backed them. That's the point. I'm not a spray-and-pray investor. I back founders building things that matter, in sectors I understand: climate tech, fintech, and real assets. I bring 30 years of capital markets judgment, sovereign wealth and family office relationships, and a network built across emerging and developed markets — including 15 months on the ground in Bangladesh. I'm selective about where I spend my time. If you're building something serious and want a partner who's seen real market cycles, I'm happy to have a conversation.
