About

Hi there 👋 I'm an early-stage investor, community builder and advisor based in Berlin. I work at EWOR (fellowship for outlier founders) and Roundtable (Angellist of Europe). Beyond that, I lead a community of operator-angels (exited founders, operators from unicorns & more) and deal-by-deal syndicates. I've invested approx. €2M in 17 companies with funds such as 20VC, Blueyard, HV Capital, GC or Seedcamp investing in subsequent rounds. Before that, I was a Principal at Entrepreneur First ($16B portfolio) ex CFO at Habyt, the world's largest Co-Living company (Sequoia backed) and ex-BCG. I'm passionate about helping exceptional founders from the get-go, the possibilities of new technologies, longevity and travelling across the world.
