San Francisco Bay Area
Operator turned Investor turned Operator. Sharing own learnings and learning more along the way. I’ve had the privilege of working with exceptional founders across Europe, Israel, and the US while building and scaling startup ecosystems for corporates. My journey has spanned partnering with founders in corporate ventures, building & scaling as an entrepreneur-in-residence, and leading investments from early-stage Blockchain & AI startups to late-stage CVC investments in the automotive sector (e.g. Agility Robotics). To follow my passion for startups and VC, I migrated from Europe to the US in 2023, where I continue to support startups and drive growth through strategic partnerships. Some milestones along the way: - Built and exited a B2B drop-shipping startup with $2M ARR in year 2 - Raised $5M and built a 20k+ user community for a gaming startup - Supported 2 startups from inception to $100M+ valuations - Early-stage Angel and VC investments, as well as late-stage CVC deals - Mentored founders at Startupbootcamp, 500 Global, CV Labs, and Alchemist Accelerator Since moving to the US, I’ve founded two startups (one exited, one pivoted) and advise two emerging VC funds in the Bay Area. Now, I lead Partnerships & Alliances at BforeAI, a Gartner #CoolVendor in Cybersecurity.
