While RawLab Ventures is on its path to becoming a full-fledged investment firm, I actively contribute as an angel investor and advisor, connecting founders with the tools, networks, and strategies they need to thrive. My mission is to meet founders where they are, guiding them toward the next stage of growth and preparing them for success in fundraising and beyond.

I draw from over 20 years of experience in technology, business strategy, and venture capital, along with my background as a diplomat focused on economics. My global network, spanning over 91 countries, allows me to provide founders with access to a wide range of resources, mentors, and opportunities across political, scientific, academic, and enterprise sectors. This unique combination of insights helps me work closely with founders to shape their vision and scale their businesses effectively.

I believe that true success comes when we pursue what we love with passion. I support founders in every phase of their journey—whether it’s developing new ideas, refining products, or preparing for fundraising. My role is to help founders find the right investors, syndicate deals, and position their startups for long-term success, all while bringing energy, creativity, and fresh perspectives to every project.

At RawLab Ventures, I believe in the power of innovation and technology to create well-being and freedom. I am passionate about helping founders turn their ideas into reality, so we can build a future where everyone has the freedom to thrive and pursue what they love.
