Engineer at heart and believe the interesting problems are always the ones nobody's fully solved. The years that followed were basically that thesis in action - designing electric vehicles for Amazon, BMW, and Ford, optimising oil flow for Shell. Different industries, same pattern: find the broken system, figure out why it's broken, build something better. Then I found maritime. A $14 trillion industry, 90% of global trade, and infrastructure that hasn't meaningfully changed since the 1990s. Not a broken system - an entire broken stack. That became Motion Ventures. We back startups building the future of maritime. Our investors are some of the largest operators who run the industry - Mitsui OSK Lines, Stolt-Nielsen, Wilhelmsen, Kpler, Lloyd's Register and many more - which means our portfolio gets access, not just capital. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia, and probably ADHD - I meant to get that second one confirmed, but something more interesting kept coming up. If you're building in maritime, my inbox is open.
